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

Step 2. Create association of FIFA Soccer 2002 with FRE files

If, despite the installed application, the FRE file does not start in the FIFA Soccer 2002 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FRE file with the FIFA Soccer 2002 program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FRE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FRE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FRE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FRE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Electronic Arts, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FRE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FRE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FRE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FRE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
