AQL file extension
The AQL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AQL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AQL file on each system platform.
What is AQL file?
The file with the extension AQL is the System Files file type. System Files consists of 323 similar files. AOL DLL 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 AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). This was created by AOL Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use AOL Desktop in case AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) cannot be used.
How to open AQL file?
The main problem with AOL DLL is that the AQL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AQL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AQL 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 AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)
In this case, you should first verify that the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) in it. 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 AQL files.
Programs to open AQL file
Remember to download programs supporting AQL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) with AQL files
If, despite the installed application, the AQL file does not start in the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AQL file with the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) program.
Step 3. Update AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) to the latest version
If, however, after binding AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) with AOL DLL there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the AOL Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AQL 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. Usually this applies to AQL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AQL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AQL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AQL 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AQL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AQL 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. Copying the AQL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AQL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AQL to close. However, some background programs may block the AQL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
