Programs to open X4K file
Remember to download programs supporting X4K files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XML4King with X4K files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the X4K file still does not use the XML4King 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 select the desired program. 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 X4K file with the XML4King program.
Step 3. Update XML4King to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XML4King program, it is possible that XML4King Configuration Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Optimal Performance B.V. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X4K file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to X4K 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. 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 X4K or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected X4K files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of X4K file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged X4K files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Optimal Performance help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted X4K 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. It is best to move X4K to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the X4K file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
