How to open GRG file?
The most common problem when using GreatFamily Graphic Gallery is that a specific GRG is not associated with the program. This causes the file GRG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRG 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 GreatFamily
In this case, you should first verify that the GreatFamily application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GreatFamily into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GRG with GreatFamily. Below you will find a list of applications that support GRG files.
Programs to open GRG file
Remember to download programs supporting GRG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GreatFamily with GRG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GRG file still does not use the GreatFamily program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GRG file with the GreatFamily application.
Step 3. Update GreatFamily to the latest version
If, however, after binding GreatFamily with GreatFamily Graphic Gallery there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GreatProgs website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GRG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 GRG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GRG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GRG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 ability to automatically repair GRG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GreatProgs, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GRG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GRG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GRG to close. However, some background programs may block the GRG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
