Older version of ML20 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ML20 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ML20 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ML20 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ML20 file for a certain period of time.
