How to open MKT file?
The main problem with Visual FoxPro Configuration is that the MKT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MKT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Visual FoxPro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual FoxPro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual FoxPro into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MKT.
Programs to open MKT file
Remember to download programs supporting MKT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with MKT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MKT file to open in the Visual FoxPro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MKT file with the Visual FoxPro application.
Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Visual FoxPro program, it is possible that Visual FoxPro Configuration requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MKT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MKT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MKT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MKT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MKT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MKT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MKT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MKT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MKT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
