Programs to open RAV file
Remember to download programs supporting RAV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FIFA Soccer 2002 with RAV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RAV file still does not use the FIFA Soccer 2002 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RAV file with the FIFA Soccer 2002 program.
Step 3. Update FIFA Soccer 2002 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FIFA Soccer 2002 program, it is possible that FIFA 2001 Data Environment Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Electronic Arts, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RAV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RAV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RAV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RAV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RAV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RAV file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RAV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact EA Sports
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RAV 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.
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 RAV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RAV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RAV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RAV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
