How to open OC4 file?
The most common problem when using OpenCanvas 4 Event Format is that a specific OC4 is not associated with the program. This causes the file OC4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OC4 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 openCanvas
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that openCanvas is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing openCanvas into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file OC4.
Programs to open OC4 file
Remember to download programs supporting OC4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of openCanvas with OC4 files
If, despite the installed application, the OC4 file does not start in the openCanvas application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OC4 file with the openCanvas application.
Step 3. Update openCanvas to the latest version
If, despite the association of the openCanvas program with the OpenCanvas 4 Event Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the portalgraphics.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OC4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the OC4 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 OC4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OC4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OC4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 ability to automatically repair OC4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Portalgraphics
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OC4 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 OC4 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OC4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OC4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
