How to open UOL file?

An often recurring problem with PhotoImpact Clipart Image is that UOL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UOL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UOL 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 PhotoImpact X3

The first step is to check if the computer has the PhotoImpact X3 program installed. To do this, enter the name PhotoImpact X3 into the 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 UOL files.

Programs to open UOL file

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

Step 2. Create association of PhotoImpact X3 with UOL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UOL file still does not use the PhotoImpact X3 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UOL file with the PhotoImpact X3 program.

Step 3. Update PhotoImpact X3 to the latest version

If, however, after binding PhotoImpact X3 with PhotoImpact Clipart Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Ulead Systems page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UOL file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the UOL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 UOL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UOL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UOL files changes over time. 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 UOL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ulead Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UOL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UOL to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UOL to close. However, some background programs may block the UOL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
