How to open CRTR file?

The main problem with MultiAd Creator Pro Document is that the CRTR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CRTR 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 CRTR 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 MultiAd Creator Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MultiAd Creator Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MultiAd Creator Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CRTR with MultiAd Creator Pro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CRTR files.

Programs to open CRTR file

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

Step 2. Create association of MultiAd Creator Pro with CRTR files

If, despite the installed application, the CRTR file does not start in the MultiAd Creator Pro 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CRTR file with the MultiAd Creator Pro program.

Step 3. Update MultiAd Creator Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MultiAd Creator Pro program with the MultiAd Creator Pro Document 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 CRTR file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 CRTR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CRTR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CRTR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CRTR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CRTR files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CRTR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 CRTR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CRTR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CRTR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
