How to open OVG file?
The main problem with ObjectVision Converted Graphic is that the OVG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open OVG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OVG 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ObjectVision in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OVG with ObjectVision. Below you will find a list of applications that support OVG files.
Programs to open OVG file
Remember to download programs supporting OVG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ObjectVision with OVG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OVG file still does not use the ObjectVision program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OVG file with the ObjectVision program.
Step 3. Update ObjectVision to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ObjectVision program with the ObjectVision Converted Graphic file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Borland Software Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OVG 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 OVG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OVG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OVG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OVG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OVG 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OVG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Borland Software Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OVG 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the OVG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OVG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OVG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
