Programs to open FRED file
Remember to download programs supporting FRED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Amiga Forever with FRED files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FRED file to open in the Amiga Forever application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FRED file with the Amiga Forever program.
Step 3. Update Amiga Forever to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Amiga Forever program, it is possible that FredEditor Sound requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cloanto IT srl website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRED file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FRED files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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 FRED file. However, remember that not every infected FRED 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 FRED file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FRED file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRED files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FRED file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FRED file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRED to close. However, some background programs may block the FRED file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
