How to open ORI file?

The most common problem when using Original Format is that a specific ORI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ORI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ORI 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 Program that created the file

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Program that created the file is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Program that created the file into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ORI.

Step 2. Create association of Program that created the file with ORI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ORI file still does not use the Program that created the file program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ORI file with the Program that created the file program.

Step 3. Update Program that created the file to the latest version

If, however, after binding Program that created the file with Original Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ORI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ORI file. Sometimes virus-infected ORI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ORI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ORI file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ORI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ORI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ORI 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 ORI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ORI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
