The AGO file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AGO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AGO file on each system platform.
What is AGO file?
The file with the extension AGO is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Soft Machines. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Autolog Script is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Autolog. This was created by Soft Machines.
How to open AGO file?
The most common problem when using Autolog Script is that a specific AGO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AGO, 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 AGO 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 Autolog
In this case, you should first verify that the Autolog application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Autolog in it. 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 AGO files.
Programs to open AGO file
Remember to download programs supporting AGO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Autolog with AGO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AGO file still does not use the Autolog program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 Autolog application as the default for handling the AGO file.
Step 3. Update Autolog to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Autolog program, it is possible that Autolog Script requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Soft Machines website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AGO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AGO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AGO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AGO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 AGO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Soft Machines, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AGO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AGO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AGO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
