How to open VV file?
The most common problem when using Virt Viewer Configuration Format is that a specific VV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VV, 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 VV 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 Virtual Machine Manager
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Virtual Machine Manager is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Virtual Machine Manager into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support VV files.
Programs to open VV file
Remember to download programs supporting VV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Virtual Machine Manager with VV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VV file still does not use the Virtual Machine Manager program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VV file with the Virtual Machine Manager program.
Step 3. Update Virtual Machine Manager to the latest version
If, however, after binding Virtual Machine Manager with Virt Viewer Configuration Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VV to close. However, some background programs may block the VV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
