How to open JIC file?
The main problem with Java Icon Format is that the JIC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JIC, 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 JIC 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 WinZip
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinZip is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinZip into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JIC files.
Programs to open JIC file
Remember to download programs supporting JIC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with JIC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JIC file to open in the WinZip application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 WinZip application as the default for handling the JIC file.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinZip with Java Icon Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JIC 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to JIC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JIC file. Sometimes virus-infected JIC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JIC 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JIC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JIC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JIC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the JIC 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 JIC to close. However, some background programs may block the JIC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
