Can't open the GR9 file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open GR9 files as well as a list of programs that support GR9 files.
GR9 file extension
The GR9 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GR9 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GR9 file on each system platform.
What is GR9 file?
The file with the extension GR9 is the Raster Image Files file type. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. ATARI Graphics 9 Picture Image Format appears on 1 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 Windows. It is recommended to use RECOIL to handle this file. This is a program created by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.
How to open GR9 file?
An often recurring problem with ATARI Graphics 9 Picture Image Format is that GR9 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GR9 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GR9 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the RECOIL program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL 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 GR9.
Programs to open GR9 file
Remember to download programs supporting GR9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with GR9 files
If, despite the installed application, the GR9 file does not start in the RECOIL 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GR9 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RECOIL program with the ATARI Graphics 9 Picture Image 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 Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GR9 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 suggests truncating the GR9 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GR9 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GR9 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GR9 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 GR9 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GR9 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 GR9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GR9 to close. However, some background programs may block the GR9 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
