How to open VIEWLET file?

The main problem with Qarbon Viewlet is that the VIEWLET file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VIEWLET 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 VIEWLET 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 Adobe Flash Player

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Flash Player is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Flash Player in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VIEWLET with Adobe Flash Player. Below you will find a list of applications that support VIEWLET files.

Programs to open VIEWLET file

Remember to download programs supporting VIEWLET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash Player with VIEWLET files

If, despite the installed application, the VIEWLET file does not start in the Adobe Flash Player application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Flash Player application as the default for handling the VIEWLET file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Flash Player to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Flash Player program with the Qarbon Viewlet 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VIEWLET file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VIEWLET files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VIEWLET file. Sometimes virus-infected VIEWLET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VIEWLET file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VIEWLET files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Qarbon
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VIEWLET 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 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 VIEWLET to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VIEWLET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VIEWLET to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VIEWLET file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
