How to open G09 file?
The main problem with Atari Picture Image Format is that the G09 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file G09 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the G09 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 RECOIL
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RECOIL is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RECOIL into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file G09 with RECOIL. Below is a list of programs that support the file G09.
Programs to open G09 file
Remember to download programs supporting G09 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with G09 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the G09 file to open in the RECOIL 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. 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. 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 G09 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RECOIL program with the Atari Picture Image 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 Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G09 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The G09 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to G09 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file G09 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected G09 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the G09 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair G09 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 G09 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. It is best to move G09 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the G09 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
