The GJF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GJF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GJF file on each system platform.
What is GJF file?
The GJF file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Gaussian, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Gaussian Input Data is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Gaussian application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Gaussian, Inc..
How to open GJF file?
An often recurring problem with Gaussian Input Data is that GJF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GJF 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 GJF 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 Gaussian
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Gaussian is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Gaussian into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support GJF files.
Programs to open GJF file
Remember to download programs supporting GJF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Gaussian with GJF files
If, despite the installed application, the GJF file does not start in the Gaussian application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Gaussian application as the default for handling the GJF file.
Step 3. Update Gaussian to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Gaussian program, it is possible that Gaussian Input Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gaussian, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GJF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GJF 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GJF file. Sometimes virus-infected GJF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GJF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GJF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Gaussian, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GJF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 GJF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GJF to close. However, some background programs may block the GJF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
