Remember to download programs supporting CL4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Easy CD Creator with CL4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CL4 file to open in the Easy CD Creator 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.

Step 3. Update Easy CD Creator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Easy CD Creator program, it is possible that Easy CD Creator 4 Project Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Roxio page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CL4 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CL4 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CL4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CL4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CL4 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CL4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sonic Solutions
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CL4 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CL4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
