Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with A51 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A51 file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A51 file with the Adobe Authorware program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Authorware to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Authorware with Adobe Authorware Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A51 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A51 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A51 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected A51 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of A51 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 A51 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A51 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A51 to a different directory.
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 A51 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A51 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
