How to open C55 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive is that a specific C55 is not associated with the program. This causes the file C55 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C55 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinACE Archiver is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinACE Archiver in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support C55 files.
Programs to open C55 file
Remember to download programs supporting C55 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C55 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C55 file still does not use the WinACE Archiver program, it means no association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the C55 file with the WinACE Archiver application.
Step 3. Update WinACE Archiver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinACE Archiver program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the e-merge GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C55 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 C55 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C55 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected C55 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C55 file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C55 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact e-merge GmbH
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C55 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the C55 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C55 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
