Programs to open XVV file

Remember to download programs supporting XVV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Placevent with XVV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XVV file to open in the Placevent application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XVV file with the Placevent application.

Step 3. Update Placevent to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Placevent program, it is possible that Placevent 3D-RISM Results Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dan Sindhikara page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XVV file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The XVV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XVV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XVV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XVV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XVV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XVV file corruption. 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 XVV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XVV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
