Programs to open GER file
Remember to download programs supporting GER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with GER files
If, despite the installed application, the GER file does not start in the NotePad++ text editor 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the GER file.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
If, however, after binding NotePad++ text editor with German Text/html Info there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Notepad++ Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GER file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GER file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GER or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GER files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GER 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 GER file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GER 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GER to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GER file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
