How to open BEL file?
An often recurring problem with Belon Compressed Archive is that BEL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BEL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BEL 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 ZipZag
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZipZag is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZipZag 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 BEL.
Programs to open BEL file
Remember to download programs supporting BEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipZag with BEL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BEL file to open in the ZipZag application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BEL file with the ZipZag program.
Step 3. Update ZipZag to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZipZag program, it is possible that Belon Compressed Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Gabriel Valentin Cristescu website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BEL 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:
The BEL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BEL file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BEL file. Sometimes virus-infected BEL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BEL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BEL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BEL 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. If possible, you can try to move the BEL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BEL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BEL file again. However, some background programs may block the BEL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
