Programs to open BGR file
Remember to download programs supporting BGR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Girder with BGR files
If, despite the installed application, the BGR file does not start in the Girder application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BGR file with the Girder application.
Step 3. Update Girder to the latest version
If, however, after binding Girder with Girder Binary Plugin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Promixis page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BGR 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 BGR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BGR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BGR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BGR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BGR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BGR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Promixis help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BGR 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. It is best to move BGR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BGR 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 BGR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BGR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
