Remember to download programs supporting CGA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ventura Publisher with CGA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CGA file still does not use the Ventura Publisher program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 CGA file with the Ventura Publisher application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CGA 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 CGA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CGA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CGA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CGA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CGA 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CGA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CGA 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 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. Copying the CGA file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CGA file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
