How to open REFI file?

The main problem with E-Sword Reference IOS Notes is that the REFI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file REFI 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 REFI 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 e-Sword

The first step is to check if the computer has the e-Sword program installed. This can be achieved by typing e-Sword into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open REFI files.

Programs to open REFI file

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

Step 2. Create association of e-Sword with REFI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the REFI file to open in the e-Sword application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the REFI file with the e-Sword application.

Step 3. Update e-Sword to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the e-Sword program, it is possible that E-Sword Reference IOS Notes requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Rick Meyers page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REFI 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. Usually this applies to REFI 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our REFI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover REFI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the REFI file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular REFI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Rick Meyers
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file REFI 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. Copying the REFI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the REFI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
