How to open X20 file?
An often recurring problem with XTree Gold For Dos Help is that X20 is not associated with the correct program file.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the X20 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 XTreeGold

Programs to open X20 file
Remember to download programs supporting X20 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XTreeGold with X20 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the X20 file still does not use the XTreeGold program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the X20 file with the XTreeGold application.
Step 3. Update XTreeGold to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XTreeGold program with the XTree Gold For Dos Help file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company) website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X20 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 X20 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the X20 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected X20 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the X20 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged X20 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company) help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted X20 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the X20 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the X20 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
