How to open VGF file?
The most common problem when using GEMPAK VGF Data Format is that a specific VGF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VGF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VGF 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 GEMPAK
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GEMPAK is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GEMPAK into the 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 VGF files.
Programs to open VGF file
Remember to download programs supporting VGF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GEMPAK with VGF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VGF file still does not use the GEMPAK program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VGF file with the GEMPAK program.
Step 3. Update GEMPAK to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GEMPAK program, it is possible that GEMPAK VGF Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Unidata Program Center page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VGF 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 VGF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VGF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VGF file. Sometimes virus-infected VGF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VGF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VGF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VGF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VGF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VGF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VGF to close. However, some background programs may block the VGF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
