The 69C file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the 69C files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the 69C file on each system platform.
What is 69C file?
The file in the 69C format belongs to the Graphic Files category. It was designed by RISCOS Ltd.. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. RISC OS BMP Windows Bitmap Image is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on , Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Ovation Pro. This was created by David Pilling. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the 69C file. RISC OS 6 will apply when it is not possible to use Ovation Pro.
How to open 69C file?
The main problem with RISC OS BMP Windows Bitmap Image is that the 69C file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open 69C, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 69C 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 Ovation Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the Ovation Pro application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ovation Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 69C files.
Programs to open 69C file
Remember to download programs supporting 69C files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ovation Pro with 69C files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 69C file to open in the Ovation Pro application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 69C file with the Ovation Pro application.
Step 3. Update Ovation Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ovation Pro program with the RISC OS BMP Windows Bitmap Image 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 David Pilling website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 69C 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 69C file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 69C or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 69C 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 69C 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 69C file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RISCOS Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 69C 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. If possible, you can try to move the 69C file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 69C file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
