What is TRCE file?
The file with the extension TRCE is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Corel Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Corel Trace is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Corel Trace application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Corel Corporation.
How to open TRCE file?
The most common problem when using Corel Trace is that a specific TRCE is not associated with the program. This causes the file TRCE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TRCE 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 Corel Trace
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel Trace is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Corel Trace 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TRCE files.
Programs to open TRCE file
Remember to download programs supporting TRCE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Trace with TRCE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TRCE file to open in the Corel Trace application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TRCE file with the Corel Trace program.
Step 3. Update Corel Trace to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel Trace program with the Corel Trace file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 TRCE 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. Usually this applies to TRCE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TRCE file. However, remember that not every infected TRCE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TRCE files changes over time. 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.
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 ability to automatically repair TRCE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TRCE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TRCE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TRCE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TRCE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
