How to open C24 file?
The main problem with Drive Image Ace is that the C24 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open C24, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C24 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 Drive Image
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Drive Image is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Drive Image into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open C24 files.
Programs to open C24 file
Remember to download programs supporting C24 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drive Image with C24 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C24 file to open in the Drive Image application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Drive Image application as the default for handling the C24 file.
Step 3. Update Drive Image to the latest version
If, however, after binding Drive Image with Drive Image Ace there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the PowerQuest website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C24 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C24 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C24 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected C24 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of C24 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C24 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PowerQuest, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C24 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.
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. It is best to move C24 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the C24 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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.
