Remember to download programs supporting UEC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of UltraEdit with UEC files
If, despite the installed application, the UEC file does not start in the UltraEdit application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 UltraEdit application as the default for handling the UEC file.
Step 3. Update UltraEdit to the latest version
If, however, after binding UltraEdit with UltraEdit Settings Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the IDM Computer Solutions, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UEC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The UEC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UEC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UEC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UEC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UEC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UEC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UEC 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. Copying the UEC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UEC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
