How to open STATES file?
The most common problem when using IconX Preset is that a specific STATES is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that STATES files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STATES 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 IconX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IconX is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IconX 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support STATES files.
Programs to open STATES file
Remember to download programs supporting STATES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IconX with STATES files
If, despite the installed application, the STATES file does not start in the IconX application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IconX application as the default for handling the STATES file.
Step 3. Update IconX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IconX program with the IconX Preset file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STATES file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the STATES file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the STATES file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected STATES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the STATES 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STATES file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file STATES 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move STATES to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
