How to open VVV file?

An often recurring problem with Virtual Volumes View Data Format is that VVV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VVV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VVV 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 Volumes View

The first step is to check if the computer has the Virtual Volumes View program installed. To do this, enter the name Virtual Volumes View into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file VVV.

Step 2. Create association of Virtual Volumes View with VVV files

If, despite the installed application, the VVV file does not start in the Virtual Volumes View application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 VVV file with the Virtual Volumes View program.

Step 3. Update Virtual Volumes View to the latest version

If, however, after binding Virtual Volumes View with Virtual Volumes View Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VVV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VVV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VVV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VVV 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 ability to automatically repair VVV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VVV 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. If possible, you can try to move the VVV file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VVV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VVV to close. However, some background programs may block the VVV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
