How to open COORDS file?
The main problem with Ribbons Coords is that the COORDS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file COORDS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COORDS 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 Ribbons
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ribbons program installed. To do this, enter the name Ribbons into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file COORDS with Ribbons. Below is a list of programs that support the file COORDS.
Programs to open COORDS file
Remember to download programs supporting COORDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ribbons with COORDS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the COORDS file to open in the Ribbons 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the COORDS file with the Ribbons application.
Step 3. Update Ribbons to the latest version
If, however, after binding Ribbons with Ribbons Coords there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the M.Carson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COORDS 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:
The COORDS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to COORDS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the COORDS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected COORDS 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 COORDS 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged COORDS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting M.Carson, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted COORDS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move COORDS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the COORDS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
