How to open MGA file?

The main problem with Manga Document is that the MGA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MGA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGA 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 Manga Reader

In this case, you should first verify that the Manga Reader application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Manga Reader into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MGA with Manga Reader. Below is a list of programs that support the file MGA.

Programs to open MGA file

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

Step 2. Create association of Manga Reader with MGA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MGA file to open in the Manga Reader application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Manga Reader application as the default for handling the MGA file.

Step 3. Update Manga Reader to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Manga Reader program, it is possible that Manga Document requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Manga Reader Team page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MGA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MGA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MGA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MGA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 MGA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Manga Reader, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MGA 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. Copying the MGA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 you have to wait for the session to the file MGA to close. However, some background programs may block the MGA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
