How to open OGL file?

Programs to open OGL file
Remember to download programs supporting OGL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ATI Multimedia Center with OGL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OGL file still does not use the ATI Multimedia Center program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OGL file with the ATI Multimedia Center program.
Step 3. Update ATI Multimedia Center to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ATI Multimedia Center program, it is possible that ATI Overlay Source Code requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OGL 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:
The OGL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OGL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 OGL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OGL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OGL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OGL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 OGL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the OGL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OGL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OGL to close. However, some background programs may block the OGL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
