The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MXDIC 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 Maxthon

Programs to open MXDIC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Maxthon with MXDIC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MXDIC file still does not use the Maxthon program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MXDIC file with the Maxthon program.

Step 3. Update Maxthon to the latest version

If, however, after binding Maxthon with Maxthon Dictionary Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Maxthon International Limited website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 MXDIC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 MXDIC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MXDIC 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 MXDIC files changes over time. 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 MXDIC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Maxthon International
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXDIC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MXDIC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
