How to open NOTES file?
The most common problem when using Memento Notes Format is that a specific NOTES is not associated with the program. This causes the file NOTES to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NOTES 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 Memento
The first step is to check if the computer has the Memento program installed. This can be achieved by typing Memento 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 NOTES with Memento. Below is a list of programs that support the file NOTES.
Programs to open NOTES file
Remember to download programs supporting NOTES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Memento with NOTES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NOTES file still does not use the Memento program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Memento application as the default for handling the NOTES file.
Step 3. Update Memento to the latest version
If, however, after binding Memento with Memento Notes Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Guys with Towels website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NOTES file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The NOTES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NOTES file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NOTES file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NOTES 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 NOTES 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NOTES file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Guys with Towels, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NOTES 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NOTES to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NOTES file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NOTES file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
