How to open IC3 file?
An often recurring problem with High Resolution Imagic Graphics Format is that IC3 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IC3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IC3 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
In this case, you should first verify that the GraphicConverter application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GraphicConverter in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support IC3 files.
Programs to open IC3 file
Remember to download programs supporting IC3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GraphicConverter with IC3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IC3 file still does not use the GraphicConverter 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. 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 IC3 file with the GraphicConverter program.
Step 3. Update GraphicConverter to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GraphicConverter program with the High Resolution Imagic Graphics Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IC3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IC3 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IC3 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IC3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of IC3 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IC3 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IC3 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the IC3 file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
