How to open LQT file?
The main problem with Liquid Audio Format is that the LQT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LQT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LQT 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 RealPlayer
In this case, you should first verify that the RealPlayer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RealPlayer into the operating system search engine. 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 LQT files.
Programs to open LQT file
Remember to download programs supporting LQT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with LQT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LQT file to open in the RealPlayer 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LQT file with the RealPlayer program.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
If, however, after binding RealPlayer with Liquid Audio 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 RealNetworks, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LQT 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LQT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LQT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LQT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LQT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LQT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Liquid Digital Media, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LQT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LQT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LQT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
