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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MXO file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MXO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MXO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MXO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MXO file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXO 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. If possible, you can try to move the MXO file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MXO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MXO to close. However, some background programs may block the MXO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
