The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VGT 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 Driver 3

Programs to open VGT file
Remember to download programs supporting VGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Driver 3 with VGT files
If, despite the installed application, the VGT file does not start in the Driver 3 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VGT file with the Driver 3 application.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Atari, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VGT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The VGT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VGT 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 VGT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VGT 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 VGT file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VGT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VGT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the VGT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VGT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
