Step 2. Create association of FlagMaker with FLAG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLAG file still does not use the FlagMaker program, it means no association. 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. 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 FLAG file with the FlagMaker application.
Step 3. Update FlagMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FlagMaker program, it is possible that FlagMaker Document Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLAG 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 suggests truncating the FLAG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FLAG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FLAG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FLAG 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLAG file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FLAG 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. Copying the FLAG file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FLAG file again. However, some background programs may block the FLAG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
