How to open VCO file?
The most common problem when using Virtual CD Collection Format is that a specific VCO is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VCO 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 VCO 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 Virtual CD
The first step is to check if the computer has the Virtual CD program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Virtual CD in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VCO with Virtual CD. Below is a list of programs that support the file VCO.
Programs to open VCO file
Remember to download programs supporting VCO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Virtual CD with VCO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VCO file still does not use the Virtual CD program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VCO file with the Virtual CD application.
Step 3. Update Virtual CD to the latest version
If, however, after binding Virtual CD with Virtual CD Collection Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the H+H Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VCO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VCO file contents when downloading or copying. 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 VCO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VCO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VCO 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VCO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use H+H Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VCO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move VCO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VCO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VCO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
