How to open ALR file?

The most common problem when using ADRIFT Language Resource Format is that a specific ALR is not associated with the program. This causes the file ALR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALR 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 ADRIFT Runner

The first step is to check if the computer has the ADRIFT Runner program installed. This can be achieved by typing ADRIFT Runner into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ALR files.

Programs to open ALR file

Remember to download programs supporting ALR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ADRIFT Runner with ALR files

If, despite the installed application, the ALR file does not start in the ADRIFT Runner application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 ADRIFT Runner application as the default for handling the ALR file.

Step 3. Update ADRIFT Runner to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ADRIFT Runner program with the ADRIFT Language Resource Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALR 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. Usually this applies to ALR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ALR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ALR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ALR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ALR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ALR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ALR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 ALR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
