What is CNTL file?
The file in the CNTL format belongs to the Settings Files category. The creator of this file is Desktop Aeronautics. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. GoCart Control appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The GoCart application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Desktop Aeronautics.
How to open CNTL file?
The most common problem when using GoCart Control is that a specific CNTL is not associated with the program. This causes the file CNTL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CNTL 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 GoCart
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GoCart is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GoCart into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CNTL files.
Programs to open CNTL file
Remember to download programs supporting CNTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GoCart with CNTL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CNTL file still does not use the GoCart program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GoCart application as the default for handling the CNTL file.
Step 3. Update GoCart to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GoCart program with the GoCart Control 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 Desktop Aeronautics page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CNTL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CNTL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CNTL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CNTL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CNTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CNTL 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CNTL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Desktop Aeronautics
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CNTL 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the CNTL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CNTL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CNTL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CNTL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
