How to open CAPT file?

An often recurring problem with Linrock Capito Data Format is that CAPT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CAPT 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 CAPT 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 Capito

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Capito is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Capito in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CAPT with Capito. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CAPT files.

Programs to open CAPT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Capito with CAPT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CAPT file to open in the Capito application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CAPT file with the Capito program.

Step 3. Update Capito to the latest version

If, however, after binding Capito with Linrock Capito Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Linrock Software Pty Ltd. page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CAPT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CAPT file. Sometimes virus-infected CAPT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CAPT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CAPT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CAPT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CAPT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CAPT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
