How to open 301 file?
The main problem with Brooktrout 301 Image is that the 301 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open 301, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 301 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file 301.
Programs to open 301 file
Remember to download programs supporting 301 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with 301 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 301 file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView application as the default for handling the 301 file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Brooktrout 301 Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 301 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 301 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 301 file. Sometimes virus-infected 301 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 301 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 301 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 301 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move 301 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 301 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 301 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 301 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
