Step 2. Create association of OM2 Cipher with OCF files
If, despite the installed application, the OCF file does not start in the OM2 Cipher application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OCF file with the OM2 Cipher application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCF 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 OCF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OCF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OCF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OCF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OCF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OCF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use OM2 Technology Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OCF 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OCF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OCF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OCF file again. 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.
