How to open CYL file?
The most common problem when using Ribbons Cylinder is that a specific CYL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CYL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CYL 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 Ribbons
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ribbons is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Ribbons 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 CYL files.
Programs to open CYL file
Remember to download programs supporting CYL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ribbons with CYL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CYL file to open in the Ribbons application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ribbons application as the default for handling the CYL file.
Step 3. Update Ribbons to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ribbons program, it is possible that Ribbons Cylinder requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the M.Carson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CYL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CYL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CYL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 CYL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CYL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CYL file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CYL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact M.Carson
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CYL 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CYL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CYL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
