How to open $02 file?
The most common problem when using MS-DOS Pipe is that a specific $02 is not associated with the program. This causes the file $02 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 $02 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
In this case, you should first verify that the MS-DOS application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MS-DOS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file $02 with MS-DOS. Below is a list of programs that support the file $02.
Programs to open $02 file
Remember to download programs supporting $02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MS-DOS with $02 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the $02 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the $02 file with the MS-DOS program.
Step 3. Update MS-DOS to the latest version
If, however, after binding MS-DOS with MS-DOS Pipe 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $02 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to $02 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file $02 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected $02 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the $02 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair $02 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file $02 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 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. Copying the $02 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the $02 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
