Step 2. Create association of BitComet with BC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BC file still does not use the BitComet program, it means no association.

Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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.

Step 3. Update BitComet to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BC 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BC 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use BitComet help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 BC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BC to close. However, some background programs may block the BC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
