How to open ART50 file?
The main problem with BERNINA V5.0 Embroidery Software Designs is that the ART50 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ART50, 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 ART50 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 ArtLink
In this case, you should first verify that the ArtLink application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArtLink in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ART50.
Programs to open ART50 file
Remember to download programs supporting ART50 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArtLink with ART50 files
If, despite the installed application, the ART50 file does not start in the ArtLink application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ART50 file with the ArtLink application.
Step 3. Update ArtLink to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArtLink program with the BERNINA V5.0 Embroidery Software Designs file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BERNINA International AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ART50 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ART50 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 ART50 file. However, remember that not every infected ART50 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 ART50 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ART50 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact BERNINA International AG
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ART50 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ART50 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
