CGV file extension
The CGV file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CGV files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CGV file on each system platform.
What is CGV file?
The CGV file has been categorized as Settings Files. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. OSLay Parameters Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open CGV file?
The main problem with OSLay Parameters Data Format is that the CGV file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CGV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CGV 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 OSLay
In this case, you should first verify that the OSLay application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name OSLay into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CGV files.
Programs to open CGV file
Remember to download programs supporting CGV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OSLay with CGV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CGV file to open in the OSLay 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the OSLay application as the default for handling the CGV file.
Step 3. Update OSLay to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OSLay program with the OSLay Parameters Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Universität Tübingen website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CGV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CGV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CGV 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CGV file. Sometimes virus-infected CGV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CGV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CGV files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CGV 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 CGV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CGV 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.
