How to open C_ file?
The main problem with Microsoft Winhelp Compressed is that the C_ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file C_ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C_ 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 Microsoft Windows Help
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows Help is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Windows Help in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C_ with Microsoft Windows Help. Below you will find a list of applications that support C_ files.
Programs to open C_ file
Remember to download programs supporting C_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Help with C_ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C_ file to open in the Microsoft Windows Help application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Microsoft Windows Help application as the default for handling the C_ file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Help to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows Help program with the Microsoft Winhelp Compressed file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C_ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The C_ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to C_ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C_ file. Sometimes virus-infected C_ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the C_ files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C_ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted C_ 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the C_ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the C_ file again. However, some background programs may block the C_ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
