How to open $01 file?
The most common problem when using MS-DOS Pipe Format is that a specific $01 is not associated with the program. This causes the file $01 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 $01 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 MS-DOS
The first step is to check if the computer has the MS-DOS program installed. To do this, enter the name MS-DOS into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support $01 files.
Programs to open $01 file
Remember to download programs supporting $01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MS-DOS with $01 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the $01 file still does not use the MS-DOS 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. 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 $01 file with the MS-DOS program.
Step 3. Update MS-DOS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MS-DOS program with the MS-DOS Pipe Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $01 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to $01 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file $01 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover $01 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of $01 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular $01 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file $01 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the $01 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the $01 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the $01 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
