Step 1. Install Bingo Maker

Step 2. Create association of Bingo Maker with BNG files

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 BNG file with the Bingo Maker program.

Step 3. Update Bingo Maker to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Bingo Maker program, it is possible that The Bingo Maker Card Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the The Bingo Maker team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BNG file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BNG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BNG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BNG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BNG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BNG 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BNG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Bingo Maker Team help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BNG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BNG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BNG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
