It was released by Complete Genomics Incorporated.
How to open CRR file?
The main problem with Complete Genomics Analysis Tools CRR Data Format is that the CRR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CRR 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 CRR 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 Complete Genomics Analysis Tools
The first step is to check if the computer has the Complete Genomics Analysis Tools program installed. This can be achieved by typing Complete Genomics Analysis Tools into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CRR with Complete Genomics Analysis Tools. Below is a list of programs that support the file CRR.
Programs to open CRR file
Remember to download programs supporting CRR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Complete Genomics Analysis Tools with CRR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CRR file to open in the Complete Genomics Analysis Tools application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CRR file with the Complete Genomics Analysis Tools program.
Step 3. Update Complete Genomics Analysis Tools to the latest version
If, however, after binding Complete Genomics Analysis Tools with Complete Genomics Analysis Tools CRR Data Format 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 Complete Genomics Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CRR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CRR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CRR files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CRR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CRR 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.
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 CRR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CRR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
