How to open TRAY file?
An often recurring problem with Corel CONNECT Tray Format is that TRAY is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TRAY 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 TRAY 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 CorelDRAW
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CorelDRAW is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CorelDRAW into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TRAY.
Programs to open TRAY file
Remember to download programs supporting TRAY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with TRAY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TRAY file to open in the CorelDRAW 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 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 TRAY file with the CorelDRAW program.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with Corel CONNECT Tray Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TRAY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TRAY file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TRAY file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TRAY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TRAY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TRAY files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TRAY 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TRAY file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TRAY to close. However, some background programs may block the TRAY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
