The ORV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ORV file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ORV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ORV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ORV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ORV file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ORV 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 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. Copying the ORV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ORV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
