How to open MGD file?
The most common problem when using Master Grade Gradebook is that a specific MGD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MGD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGD 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 Master Grade
In this case, you should first verify that the Master Grade application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Master Grade 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 MGD files.
Programs to open MGD file
Remember to download programs supporting MGD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Master Grade with MGD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MGD file still does not use the Master Grade program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MGD file with the Master Grade application.
Step 3. Update Master Grade to the latest version
If, however, after binding Master Grade with Master Grade Gradebook there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Maxium Developments website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MGD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MGD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MGD 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 MGD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MGD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Maxium Developments help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MGD 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 MGD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
