What is CUL file?
The file with the extension CUL is the Misc Files file type. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Windows Cursor Library is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The CursorWorkshop application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Axialis Software.

How to open CUL file?
The most common problem when using Windows Cursor Library is that a specific CUL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CUL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUL 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 CursorWorkshop
The first step is to check if the computer has the CursorWorkshop program installed. This can be achieved by typing CursorWorkshop into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CUL files.
Programs to open CUL file
Remember to download programs supporting CUL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CursorWorkshop with CUL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CUL file still does not use the CursorWorkshop program, it means no association. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CUL file with the CursorWorkshop program.
Step 3. Update CursorWorkshop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CursorWorkshop program with the Windows Cursor Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Axialis Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CUL 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 CUL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 CUL file. However, remember that not every infected CUL 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 CUL files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CUL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CUL 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 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 CUL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CUL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CUL file again. However, some background programs may block the CUL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
