How to open COMP file?
The most common problem when using CodeWarrior Compiler is that a specific COMP is not associated with the program. This causes the file COMP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COMP 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 CodeWarrior Compiler
In this case, you should first verify that the CodeWarrior Compiler application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CodeWarrior Compiler into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file COMP.
Programs to open COMP file
Remember to download programs supporting COMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CodeWarrior Compiler with COMP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the COMP file still does not use the CodeWarrior Compiler 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 CodeWarrior Compiler application as the default for handling the COMP file.
Step 3. Update CodeWarrior Compiler to the latest version
If, however, after binding CodeWarrior Compiler with CodeWarrior Compiler there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COMP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to COMP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the COMP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected COMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of COMP 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.
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 COMP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file COMP 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. It is best to move COMP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the COMP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file COMP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
