How to open CRYPTRA file?
The most common problem when using Cryptra Encrypted Format is that a specific CRYPTRA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CRYPTRA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CRYPTRA 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 Cryptra
The first step is to check if the computer has the Cryptra program installed. To do this, enter the name Cryptra into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CRYPTRA files.
Programs to open CRYPTRA file
Remember to download programs supporting CRYPTRA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cryptra with CRYPTRA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CRYPTRA file to open in the Cryptra application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Cryptra application as the default for handling the CRYPTRA file.
Step 3. Update Cryptra to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cryptra program with the Cryptra Encrypted 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 CRYPTRA 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CRYPTRA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 CRYPTRA file. However, remember that not every infected CRYPTRA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CRYPTRA 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CRYPTRA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CRYPTRA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CRYPTRA file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CRYPTRA to close. However, some background programs may block the CRYPTRA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
