How to open CGD file?

The main problem with CricketGraph Data is that the CGD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CGD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CGD 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 CricketGraph

The first step is to check if the computer has the CricketGraph program installed. To do this, enter the name CricketGraph into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CGD with CricketGraph. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CGD files.

Programs to open CGD file

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

Step 2. Create association of CricketGraph with CGD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CGD file to open in the CricketGraph application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CGD file with the CricketGraph application.

Step 3. Update CricketGraph to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CricketGraph program, it is possible that CricketGraph Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Cricket Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CGD 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 suggests truncating the CGD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CGD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CGD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CGD 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CGD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact If you know some more useful informations about this file extension, please send us a message, by clicking on submit extension button at the top of page.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CGD 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. If possible, you can try to move the CGD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
