How to open GET file?
An often recurring problem with Pov-Ray For Windows 3.x is that GET is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GET files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GET 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 POV-Ray

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 GET files.
Programs to open GET file
Remember to download programs supporting GET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of POV-Ray with GET files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GET file to open in the POV-Ray application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 GET file with the POV-Ray application.
Step 3. Update POV-Ray to the latest version
If, despite the association of the POV-Ray program with the Pov-Ray For Windows 3.x file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GET file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GET file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GET file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GET file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GET files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GET file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GET files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the GET file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GET 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 GET to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
