How to open OCREC file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Lync Data Format is that a specific OCREC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open OCREC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OCREC 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 Microsoft Lync
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Lync program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Lync into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OCREC files.
Programs to open OCREC file
Remember to download programs supporting OCREC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Lync with OCREC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OCREC file still does not use the Microsoft Lync program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Microsoft Lync application as the default for handling the OCREC file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Lync to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Lync program, it is possible that Microsoft Lync Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCREC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the OCREC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OCREC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OCREC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OCREC 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OCREC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OCREC 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the OCREC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OCREC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OCREC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OCREC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
