How to open CRG file?

An often recurring problem with Calamus Picture Image is that CRG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CRG 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 CRG 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 Calamus SL

The first step is to check if the computer has the Calamus SL program installed. To do this, enter the name Calamus SL 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 CRG files.

Programs to open CRG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Calamus SL with CRG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CRG file still does not use the Calamus SL 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Calamus SL application as the default for handling the CRG file.

Step 3. Update Calamus SL to the latest version

If, however, after binding Calamus SL with Calamus Picture Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the invers Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRG file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CRG 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRG file. Sometimes virus-infected CRG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CRG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CRG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use invers Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CRG 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CRG file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CRG file again. 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.
