How to open XMDX file?
The main problem with SofTest Answer Data Format is that the XMDX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that XMDX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMDX 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 SofTest
In this case, you should first verify that the SofTest application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SofTest into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XMDX files.
Programs to open XMDX file
Remember to download programs supporting XMDX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SofTest with XMDX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XMDX file still does not use the SofTest program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SofTest application as the default for handling the XMDX file.
Step 3. Update SofTest to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SofTest program with the SofTest Answer Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ExamSoft Worldwide Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMDX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XMDX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 XMDX file. Sometimes virus-infected XMDX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMDX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged XMDX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 XMDX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XMDX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XMDX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMDX file again. However, some background programs may block the XMDX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
