How to open XVU file?
The main problem with BOClean Database Format is that the XVU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XVU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XVU 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 BOClean
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BOClean is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BOClean into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XVU files.
Programs to open XVU file
Remember to download programs supporting XVU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BOClean with XVU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XVU file still does not use the BOClean 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 BOClean application as the default for handling the XVU file.
Step 3. Update BOClean to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the BOClean program, it is possible that BOClean Database Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Comodo Group, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XVU 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XVU file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XVU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XVU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XVU files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XVU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Comodo Group, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XVU 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XVU file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XVU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
