How to open MKY file?

An often recurring problem with MagicKey Configuration is that MKY is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MKY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKY 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 MagicKey

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MagicKey is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MagicKey into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MKY files.

Programs to open MKY file

Remember to download programs supporting MKY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MagicKey with MKY files

If, despite the installed application, the MKY file does not start in the MagicKey application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MKY file with the MagicKey application.

Step 3. Update MagicKey to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MagicKey program with the MagicKey Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Advanced Computer Innovations, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKY file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The MKY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MKY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MKY file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MKY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MKY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MKY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Advanced Computer Innovations, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MKY 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MKY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MKY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
