Tips to open GEO file
Can't open the GEO file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open GEO files as well as a list of programs that support GEO files.
GEO file extension
The GEO file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GEO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GEO file on each system platform.
What is GEO file?
The file with the extension GEO is the 3D Image Files file type. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. VRML Geography Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is TurboCAD. This was created by IMSI/Design, LLC.. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. 3D Object Converter will apply when it is not possible to use TurboCAD.
How to open GEO file?
The most common problem when using VRML Geography Format is that a specific GEO is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GEO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEO 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 TurboCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TurboCAD is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TurboCAD in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file GEO.
Programs to open GEO file
Remember to download programs supporting GEO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboCAD with GEO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GEO file to open in the TurboCAD application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TurboCAD application as the default for handling the GEO file.
Step 3. Update TurboCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TurboCAD program with the VRML Geography Format 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 IMSI/Design, LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GEO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GEO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GEO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GEO 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 option of recovering data from damaged GEO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GEO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GEO file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file GEO to close. However, some background programs may block the GEO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
