How to open CCI file?
The most common problem when using Champions Interlace Compressed Picture Image Format is that a specific CCI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CCI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CCI 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 RECOIL
The first step is to check if the computer has the RECOIL program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CCI.
Programs to open CCI file
Remember to download programs supporting CCI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with CCI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CCI file to open in the RECOIL application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CCI file with the RECOIL application.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RECOIL program, it is possible that Champions Interlace Compressed Picture Image Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CCI 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CCI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CCI file. Sometimes virus-infected CCI 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 CCI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CCI files. 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CCI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CCI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CCI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CCI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CCI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
