Quite often, we are faced with the fact that when trying to open a specific file, they fail. The system cannot play a file whose format it does not know. To play such a file, first of all, you need to determine its extension and select a specific program.
Necessary
A computer with access to the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
Select the unknown file and right click on it.
Step 2
Find the file format in the "Properties" dialog box that opens - these are a few letters at the end of the file name that indicate its extension.
Step 3
Open the search page in any browser and enter your query. For example, "xxx file player" or "xxx file extension". Most likely, you will be able to find information about this extension and links to programs that allow you to work with it.
Step 4
Follow any link and download a program designed to work with files of this format.
Step 5
Install the downloaded software on your computer.
Step 6
Right-click on the file and in the context menu that opens, select the "Open with" item, and then select the required program from the list provided.
