How to open V12 file?
The most common problem when using All The Right Type Database Format is that a specific V12 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open V12, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the V12 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 All The Right Type
The first step is to check if the computer has the All The Right Type program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name All The Right Type in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file V12 with All The Right Type. Below is a list of programs that support the file V12.
Programs to open V12 file
Remember to download programs supporting V12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of All The Right Type with V12 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the V12 file to open in the All The Right Type 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the All The Right Type application as the default for handling the V12 file.
Step 3. Update All The Right Type to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the All The Right Type program, it is possible that All The Right Type Database Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ingenuity Works website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the V12 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the V12 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our V12 file. Sometimes virus-infected V12 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 V12 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged V12 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ingenuity Works help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file V12 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the V12 file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the V12 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
