Step 2. Create association of MetaQuotes Language 4 with MQT files
If, despite the installed application, the MQT file does not start in the MetaQuotes Language 4 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MQT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MQT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MQT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MQT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MQT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MQT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MQT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting MetaQuotes Software Corp., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MQT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MQT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MQT file again. However, some background programs may block the MQT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
