How to open GRU file?
An often recurring problem with Geist Preset is that GRU is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GRU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRU 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 Geist
In this case, you should first verify that the Geist application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Geist 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 GRU with Geist. Below is a list of programs that support the file GRU.
Programs to open GRU file
Remember to download programs supporting GRU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Geist with GRU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GRU file still does not use the Geist program, it means no 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GRU file with the Geist program.
Step 3. Update Geist to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Geist program with the Geist Preset file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the FXpansion Audio UK Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRU 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. This suggests truncating the GRU file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GRU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GRU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GRU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 GRU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FXpansion™ Audio UK Ltd., 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 file GRU 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GRU 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GRU file again. However, some background programs may block the GRU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
