The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CH6 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 2. Create association of ZX-Paintbrush with CH6 files

If, despite the installed application, the CH6 file does not start in the ZX-Paintbrush application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CH6 file with the ZX-Paintbrush program.

Step 3. Update ZX-Paintbrush to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ZX-Paintbrush program with the ZX-Paintbrush Character Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ZX-Modules website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CH6 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The CH6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CH6 file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CH6 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CH6 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CH6 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CH6 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CH6 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CH6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CH6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CH6 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
