How to open VCG file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft SharePoint WorkSpace Groove VCard Contact is that a specific VCG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VCG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VCG 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 Microsoft Office
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Office program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VCG with Microsoft Office. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VCG files.
Programs to open VCG file
Remember to download programs supporting VCG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with VCG files
If, despite the installed application, the VCG file does not start in the Microsoft Office application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 VCG file with the Microsoft Office program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with Microsoft SharePoint WorkSpace Groove VCard Contact 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VCG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VCG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VCG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VCG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VCG file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 option of recovering data from damaged VCG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VCG 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. It is best to move VCG to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VCG file again. However, some background programs may block the VCG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
