How to open XIX file?
The most common problem when using IIS NNTP Subject Lists is that a specific XIX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XIX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XIX 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 Microsoft IIS
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft IIS program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft IIS into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XIX files.
Programs to open XIX file
Remember to download programs supporting XIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft IIS with XIX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XIX file to open in the Microsoft IIS application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft IIS application as the default for handling the XIX file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft IIS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft IIS program, it is possible that IIS NNTP Subject Lists requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XIX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The XIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XIX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 XIX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XIX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XIX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XIX 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XIX 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. It is best to move XIX 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XIX to close. However, some background programs may block the XIX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
