How to open VTG file?

The main problem with SlickEdit Workspace is that the VTG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VTG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VTG 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 SlickEdit

The first step is to check if the computer has the SlickEdit program installed. This can be achieved by typing SlickEdit into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VTG with SlickEdit. Below is a list of programs that support the file VTG.

Programs to open VTG file

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

Step 2. Create association of SlickEdit with VTG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VTG file to open in the SlickEdit application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SlickEdit application as the default for handling the VTG file.

Step 3. Update SlickEdit to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SlickEdit program, it is possible that SlickEdit Workspace requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SlickEdit website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VTG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 VTG file. However, remember that not every infected VTG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VTG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VTG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use SlickEdit help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VTG 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. If possible, you can try to move the VTG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VTG 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 VTG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VTG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
