What is VIT file?
The file with the extension VIT is the Graphic Files file type. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. VITec Scanner Raster Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open VIT file?
The main problem with VITec Scanner Raster Format is that the VIT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VIT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VIT 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView 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 VIT with XnView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VIT files.
Programs to open VIT file
Remember to download programs supporting VIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with VIT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VIT file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VIT file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the VITec Scanner Raster Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VIT 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 VIT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VIT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 VIT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VIT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VIT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 ability to automatically repair VIT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VIT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VIT file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VIT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
