How to open CRO file?
An often recurring problem with CropWat Data Format is that CRO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CRO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CRO 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 CropWat
The first step is to check if the computer has the CropWat program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CropWat in it. 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 CRO.
Programs to open CRO file
Remember to download programs supporting CRO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CropWat with CRO files
If, despite the installed application, the CRO file does not start in the CropWat application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 CRO file with the CropWat application.
Step 3. Update CropWat to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CropWat program with the CropWat Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRO 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 suggests truncating the CRO file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRO file. However, remember that not every infected CRO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CRO file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CRO file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CRO 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CRO file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CRO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CRO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
