What is UVF file?
The file with the extension UVF is the Data Files file type. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Uncertain Value Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Netica to handle this file. This is a program created by Norsys Software Corp..
How to open UVF file?
The most common problem when using Uncertain Value Format is that a specific UVF is not associated with the program. This causes the file UVF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UVF 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 Netica
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Netica is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Netica into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UVF with Netica. Below you will find a list of applications that support UVF files.
Programs to open UVF file
Remember to download programs supporting UVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Netica with UVF files
If, despite the installed application, the UVF file does not start in the Netica application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UVF file with the Netica program.
Step 3. Update Netica to the latest version
If, however, after binding Netica with Uncertain Value Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Norsys Software Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UVF 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 UVF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UVF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UVF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UVF 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 UVF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UVF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UVF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the UVF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 UVF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UVF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
