How to open ALCO file?
An often recurring problem with URL Manager Pro is that ALCO is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ALCO, 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 ALCO 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 URL Manager Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that URL Manager Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name URL Manager Pro into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ALCO with URL Manager Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file ALCO.
Programs to open ALCO file
Remember to download programs supporting ALCO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of URL Manager Pro with ALCO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ALCO file to open in the URL Manager Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 URL Manager Pro application as the default for handling the ALCO file.
Step 3. Update URL Manager Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the URL Manager Pro program with the URL Manager Pro file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Alco Blom website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALCO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ALCO 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ALCO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ALCO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ALCO file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ALCO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alco Blom help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ALCO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ALCO 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ALCO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
