How to open LIFE file?

The most common problem when using LIGHT Format is that a specific LIFE is not associated with the program. This causes the file LIFE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LIFE 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 LIGHT

In this case, you should first verify that the LIGHT application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LIGHT in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LIFE files.

Programs to open LIFE file

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

Step 2. Create association of LIGHT with LIFE files

If, despite the installed application, the LIFE file does not start in the LIGHT application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 LIGHT application as the default for handling the LIFE file.

Step 3. Update LIGHT to the latest version

If, despite the association of the LIGHT program with the LIGHT Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The LIFE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LIFE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LIFE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LIFE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LIFE 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LIFE files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LIFE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LIFE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LIFE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LIFE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
