How to open 555 file?

The main problem with Black & White Weather Settings Format is that the 555 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file 555 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 555 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 Black & White

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Black & White is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Black & White into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 555 with Black & White. Below you will find a list of applications that support 555 files.

Step 2. Create association of Black & White with 555 files

If, despite the installed application, the 555 file does not start in the Black & White application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 555 file with the Black & White application.

Step 3. Update Black & White to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Black & White program, it is possible that Black & White Weather Settings Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 555 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 555 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 555 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 555 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 555 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 555 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 555 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the 555 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 555 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
