Step 2. Create association of The Curse of Monkey Island with LA2 files

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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LA2 file with the The Curse of Monkey Island program.
Step 3. Update The Curse of Monkey Island to the latest version
If, however, after binding The Curse of Monkey Island with LucasArts Game Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LA2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LA2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LA2 file. Sometimes virus-infected LA2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LA2 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LA2 files. 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 LA2 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LA2 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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.
