RISC OS JPEG Bitmap Image is supported by 2 operating systems. These systems consist of , Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Ovation Pro to handle this file. This is a program created by David Pilling. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. The RISC OS 6 programs will also handle the file when the Ovation Pro program does not fulfill its role.

How to open C85 file?

The main problem with RISC OS JPEG Bitmap Image is that the C85 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open C85, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C85 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 Ovation Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the Ovation Pro application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ovation Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C85 with Ovation Pro. Below you will find a list of applications that support C85 files.

Programs to open C85 file

Remember to download programs supporting C85 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Ovation Pro with C85 files

If, despite the installed application, the C85 file does not start in the Ovation Pro application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 C85 file with the Ovation Pro program.

Step 3. Update Ovation Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Ovation Pro program with the RISC OS JPEG Bitmap Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the David Pilling website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C85 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The C85 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C85 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 C85 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected C85 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of C85 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C85 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RISCOS Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file C85 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 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. It is best to move C85 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the C85 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C85 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
