How to open YGN file?
An often recurring problem with YGen is that YGN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file YGN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YGN 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 yGen
In this case, you should first verify that the yGen application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing yGen 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 YGN with yGen. Below you will find a list of applications that support YGN files.
Programs to open YGN file
Remember to download programs supporting YGN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of yGen with YGN files
If, despite the installed application, the YGN file does not start in the yGen application, you must create a file 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the YGN file with the yGen program.
Step 3. Update yGen to the latest version
If, however, after binding yGen with YGen there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Spacejock Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YGN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 YGN 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YGN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected YGN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of YGN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YGN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Spacejock Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YGN 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move YGN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the YGN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
