Programs to open FAL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Text editor with FAL files

If, despite the installed application, the FAL file does not start in the Text editor 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Text editor application as the default for handling the FAL file.

Step 3. Update Text editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Text editor program with the Bitmap Graphic Header Information 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 FAL file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FAL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FAL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FAL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FAL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FAL files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FAL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FAL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 FAL to close. However, some background programs may block the FAL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
