FTG file extension
The FTG file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FTG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FTG file on each system platform.
What is FTG file?
The FTG file has been categorized as System Files. Additionally, the System Files category contains 323 of other files. Full Text Group is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Windows. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open FTG file?
The most common problem when using Full Text Group is that a specific FTG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FTG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTG 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 Microsoft Windows
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FTG files.
Programs to open FTG file
Remember to download programs supporting FTG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with FTG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTG file still does not use the Microsoft Windows program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FTG file with the Microsoft Windows application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the Full Text Group file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FTG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FTG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FTG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FTG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FTG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FTG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FTG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move FTG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FTG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
