How to open GRLDR file?
The most common problem when using GRUB4DOS Internal Loader Data Format is that a specific GRLDR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GRLDR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRLDR 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 GRUB4DOS
In this case, you should first verify that the GRUB4DOS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GRUB4DOS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GRLDR with GRUB4DOS. Below you will find a list of applications that support GRLDR files.
Programs to open GRLDR file
Remember to download programs supporting GRLDR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GRUB4DOS with GRLDR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GRLDR file still does not use the GRUB4DOS program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GRLDR file with the GRUB4DOS application.
Step 3. Update GRUB4DOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GRUB4DOS program, it is possible that GRUB4DOS Internal Loader Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Gna! website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRLDR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GRLDR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GRLDR file. Sometimes virus-infected GRLDR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GRLDR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GRLDR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GRLDR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GRLDR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GRLDR 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 GRLDR 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.
