How to open ICR file?
The main problem with Image Comparer Results Format is that the ICR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ICR 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 ICR 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 Bolide Image Comparer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Bolide Image Comparer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Bolide Image Comparer 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 ICR files.
Programs to open ICR file
Remember to download programs supporting ICR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bolide Image Comparer with ICR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ICR file to open in the Bolide Image Comparer application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Bolide Image Comparer application as the default for handling the ICR file.
Step 3. Update Bolide Image Comparer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Bolide Image Comparer program, it is possible that Image Comparer Results Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICR 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ICR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ICR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ICR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ICR files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ICR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ICR 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ICR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ICR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ICR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
