The IC2 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the IC2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the IC2 file on each system platform.
What is IC2 file?
The file in the IC2 format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. The creator of this file is Atari. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Medium Resolution Imagic Graphics Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.
How to open IC2 file?
An often recurring problem with Medium Resolution Imagic Graphics Format is that IC2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IC2, 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 IC2 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 GraphicConverter
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GraphicConverter is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GraphicConverter in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IC2 files.
Programs to open IC2 file
Remember to download programs supporting IC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GraphicConverter with IC2 files
If, despite the installed application, the IC2 file does not start in the GraphicConverter application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 GraphicConverter application as the default for handling the IC2 file.
Step 3. Update GraphicConverter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GraphicConverter program, it is possible that Medium Resolution Imagic Graphics Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IC2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IC2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IC2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IC2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IC2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IC2 file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IC2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IC2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IC2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IC2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IC2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IC2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
