Programs to open LA1 file

Step 2. Create association of The Curse of Monkey Island with LA1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LA1 file to open in the The Curse of Monkey Island 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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.

Step 3. Update The Curse of Monkey Island to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Curse of Monkey Island program, it is possible that LucasArts Game Data requires a newer version of the program. 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 LA1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The LA1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LA1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LA1 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LA1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LA1 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LA1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LA1 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 LA1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LA1 to close. However, some background programs may block the LA1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
