How to open VLL file?

The most common problem when using Virtual Light Lab Show is that a specific VLL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VLL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VLL 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 Light Lab

The first step is to check if the computer has the Virtual Light Lab program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Virtual Light Lab in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VLL with Virtual Light Lab.

Programs to open VLL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Virtual Light Lab with VLL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VLL file still does not use the Virtual Light Lab 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VLL file with the Virtual Light Lab program.

Step 3. Update Virtual Light Lab to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Virtual Light Lab program, it is possible that Virtual Light Lab Show requires a newer version of the program.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 West Side Systems page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VLL file. 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VLL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VLL 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 VLL 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VLL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use West Side Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VLL 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VLL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VLL to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
