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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The MXFR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MXFR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MXFR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MXFR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MXFR file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 MXFR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting J R Oakley, 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 MXFR 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.
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. Copying the MXFR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MXFR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MXFR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
