How to open CTXT file?
The main problem with BlueJ Context Format is that the CTXT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CTXT 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 CTXT 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 BlueJ
The first step is to check if the computer has the BlueJ program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BlueJ in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CTXT with BlueJ. Below is a list of programs that support the file CTXT.
Programs to open CTXT file
Remember to download programs supporting CTXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BlueJ with CTXT files
If, despite the installed application, the CTXT file does not start in the BlueJ application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CTXT file with the BlueJ application.
Step 3. Update BlueJ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the BlueJ program, it is possible that BlueJ Context Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CTXT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CTXT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CTXT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CTXT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CTXT 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CTXT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CTXT 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CTXT 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CTXT to close. 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.
