How to open C41 file?

The main problem with Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive is that the C41 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open C41, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C41 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 WinACE Archiver

The first step is to check if the computer has the WinACE Archiver program installed. This can be achieved by typing WinACE Archiver into the operating 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 C41 files.

Programs to open C41 file

Remember to download programs supporting C41 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C41 files

If, despite the installed application, the C41 file does not start in the WinACE Archiver application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the C41 file with the WinACE Archiver program.

Step 3. Update WinACE Archiver to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinACE Archiver with Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the e-merge GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C41 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C41 file. 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 C41 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C41 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C41 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C41 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use e-merge GmbH help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file C41 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the C41 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the C41 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C41 to close. 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.
