The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BRL 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 Braille2000
In this case, you should first verify that the Braille2000 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Braille2000 into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BRL files.
Programs to open BRL file
Remember to download programs supporting BRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Braille2000 with BRL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BRL file to open in the Braille2000 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 BRL file with the Braille2000 application.
Step 3. Update Braille2000 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Braille2000 program with the MicroBraille Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BRL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BRL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 BRL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BRL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BRL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BRL file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BRL 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BRL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
