Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLC4 files

The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XLC4 file with the Microsoft Excel program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XLC4 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLC4 file. However, remember that not every infected XLC4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XLC4 file. 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.
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 XLC4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLC4 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 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 XLC4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLC4 to close. However, some background programs may block the XLC4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
