How to open CL2ARC file?

The main problem with Comic Life 2 Document Archive is that the CL2ARC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CL2ARC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CL2ARC 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 Comic Life

In this case, you should first verify that the Comic Life application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Comic Life into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CL2ARC files.

Programs to open CL2ARC file

Remember to download programs supporting CL2ARC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Comic Life with CL2ARC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CL2ARC file to open in the Comic Life 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. 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 CL2ARC file with the Comic Life program.

Step 3. Update Comic Life to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Comic Life program with the Comic Life 2 Document Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the plasq page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CL2ARC 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 CL2ARC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CL2ARC file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CL2ARC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CL2ARC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CL2ARC file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CL2ARC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Plasq help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CL2ARC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CL2ARC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CL2ARC file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
