How to open OVD file?
An often recurring problem with ObjectVision Data is that OVD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file OVD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OVD 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 ObjectVision
The first step is to check if the computer has the ObjectVision program installed. To do this, enter the name ObjectVision into the 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 OVD files.
Programs to open OVD file
Remember to download programs supporting OVD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ObjectVision with OVD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OVD file to open in the ObjectVision application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 OVD file with the ObjectVision application.
Step 3. Update ObjectVision to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ObjectVision program with the ObjectVision Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Borland Software Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OVD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OVD file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OVD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OVD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OVD files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OVD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Borland Software Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file OVD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the OVD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OVD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
