How to open ULS file?
The main problem with NetMeeting User Location Service Format is that the ULS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ULS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ULS 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 NetMeeting
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NetMeeting is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NetMeeting into the system search engine.

Programs to open ULS file
Remember to download programs supporting ULS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NetMeeting with ULS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ULS file to open in the NetMeeting application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ULS file with the NetMeeting application.
Step 3. Update NetMeeting to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NetMeeting program with the NetMeeting User Location Service Format 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 ULS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ULS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ULS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ULS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ULS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ULS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ULS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 ULS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ULS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
