How to open OVLX file?

Programs to open OVLX file

Remember to download programs supporting OVLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of eSword 9 Converter with OVLX files

If, despite the installed application, the OVLX file does not start in the eSword 9 Converter application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the eSword 9 Converter application as the default for handling the OVLX file.

Step 3. Update eSword 9 Converter to the latest version

If, however, after binding eSword 9 Converter with E-Sword Overlay Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The OVLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OVLX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OVLX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected OVLX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of OVLX 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OVLX files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OVLX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move OVLX to a different directory.
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 OVLX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OVLX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
