The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QMTF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QMTF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QMTF 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QMTF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QMTF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the QMTF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QMTF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QMTF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QMTF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
