What is ACQ file?

The file in the ACQ format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is GT Technologies. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. AcqURL Bookmark Manager is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The AcqURL application is recommended to open the file. It was released by GT Technologies.

How to open ACQ file?

The main problem with AcqURL Bookmark Manager is that the ACQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ACQ, 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 ACQ 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 AcqURL

The first step is to check if the computer has the AcqURL program installed. This can be achieved by typing AcqURL into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ACQ files.

Step 2. Create association of AcqURL with ACQ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ACQ file still does not use the AcqURL program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AcqURL application as the default for handling the ACQ file.

Step 3. Update AcqURL to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AcqURL program with the AcqURL Bookmark Manager 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 GT Technologies page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ACQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACQ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ACQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ACQ file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ACQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GT Technologies, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ACQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ACQ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
