How to open VE file?

An often recurring problem with Vinyl Express LXi Design Format is that VE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VE 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 VE 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 Vinyl Express LXi

The first step is to check if the computer has the Vinyl Express LXi program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Vinyl Express LXi in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VE with Vinyl Express LXi. Below is a list of programs that support the file VE.

Programs to open VE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Vinyl Express LXi with VE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VE file still does not use the Vinyl Express LXi program, it means no association. 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. 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 Vinyl Express LXi application as the default for handling the VE file.

Step 3. Update Vinyl Express LXi to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Vinyl Express LXi program, it is possible that Vinyl Express LXi Design Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SignWarehouse page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VE file. However, remember that not every infected VE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VE file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VE 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
