The AGL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AGL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AGL file on each system platform.
What is AGL file?
The AGL file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. The author of this format is Planaria Software LLC.. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. ArgusLab Molecular Graphics Modelling is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use ArgusLab to handle this file. This is a program created by Planaria Software LLC..
How to open AGL file?
The main problem with ArgusLab Molecular Graphics Modelling is that the AGL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AGL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGL 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 ArgusLab
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArgusLab is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ArgusLab 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 AGL with ArgusLab. Below you will find a list of applications that support AGL files.
Programs to open AGL file
Remember to download programs supporting AGL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArgusLab with AGL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AGL file to open in the ArgusLab 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArgusLab application as the default for handling the AGL file.
Step 3. Update ArgusLab to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArgusLab program, it is possible that ArgusLab Molecular Graphics Modelling requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Planaria Software LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AGL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AGL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AGL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 AGL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Planaria Software LLC.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AGL 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AGL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AGL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
