How to open MVQ file?
An often recurring problem with MvQuery Query Data Format is that MVQ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MVQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MVQ 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 mvQuery
In this case, you should first verify that the mvQuery application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name mvQuery into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MVQ files.
Programs to open MVQ file
Remember to download programs supporting MVQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of mvQuery with MVQ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MVQ file still does not use the mvQuery program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MVQ file with the mvQuery program.
Step 3. Update mvQuery to the latest version
If, despite the association of the mvQuery program with the MvQuery Query Data Format 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 F.W.Davison page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVQ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MVQ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MVQ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MVQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MVQ files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MVQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MVQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MVQ 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MVQ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MVQ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
