How to open MX2 file?
The most common problem when using MasterCook Recipe is that a specific MX2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file MX2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MX2 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 MasterCook
In this case, you should first verify that the MasterCook application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MasterCook into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MX2 with MasterCook. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MX2 files.
Programs to open MX2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MX2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MasterCook with MX2 files
If, despite the installed application, the MX2 file does not start in the MasterCook 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MasterCook application as the default for handling the MX2 file.
Step 3. Update MasterCook to the latest version
If, however, after binding MasterCook with MasterCook Recipe there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ValuSoft website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MX2 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MX2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MX2 file. Sometimes virus-infected MX2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MX2 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MX2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ValuSoft, 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 file MX2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MX2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MX2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
