Step 2. Create association of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II with JKL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JKL file still does not use the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JKL file with the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II application.

If, however, after binding Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II with Jedi Knight there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The JKL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JKL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JKL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected JKL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of JKL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 JKL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JKL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JKL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JKL to close. 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.
