How to open JG4 file?

The main problem with BigJig Jigsaw Puzzle is that the JG4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that JG4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

Step 1. Install BigJig

Programs to open JG4 file

Remember to download programs supporting JG4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of BigJig with JG4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JG4 file still does not use the BigJig 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JG4 file with the BigJig application.

Step 3. Update BigJig to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BigJig program, it is possible that BigJig Jigsaw Puzzle requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JG4 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JG4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JG4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JG4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JG4 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JG4 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JG4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the JG4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the JG4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
