How to open XXX file?

The most common problem when using Compucon Singer Embroidery Format is that a specific XXX is not associated with the program. This causes the file XXX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XXX 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 USA EOS

The first step is to check if the computer has the USA EOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name USA EOS in it. 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 XXX files.

Step 2. Create association of USA EOS with XXX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XXX file to open in the USA EOS application, but you can set it manually. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XXX file with the USA EOS application.

Step 3. Update USA EOS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the USA EOS program, it is possible that Compucon Singer Embroidery Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The XXX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XXX 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XXX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XXX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XXX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XXX file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XXX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 XXX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XXX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XXX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
