How to open FC3 file?
The most common problem when using WavePad Sound Editor Data Format is that a specific FC3 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FC3 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 FC3 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 WavePad
In this case, you should first verify that the WavePad application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WavePad 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 FC3 files.
Programs to open FC3 file
Remember to download programs supporting FC3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WavePad with FC3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FC3 file still does not use the WavePad 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FC3 file with the WavePad application.
Step 3. Update WavePad to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WavePad program with the WavePad Sound Editor Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NCH Software Pty Ltd page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FC3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FC3 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FC3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FC3 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 FC3 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FC3 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FC3 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 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. It is best to move FC3 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FC3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FC3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
