Understanding CA1 Issues


Common CA1 Opening Problems

Missing Recoil

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open CA1 Files" when trying to open your CA1. If so, it typically means that you don't have Recoil installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your CA1 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: Another CA1-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Recoil

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Recoil installed that's incompatible with your CrackArt Picture Image type. Visit the Piotr Fusik website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Recoil. This issue mainly occurs when your CrackArt Picture Image file was created by a newer version of Recoil than you have on your PC.


Tip: If you right-click on your CA1 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening CA1 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other Causes of CA1 File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right Recoil version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening CA1 files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading CA1 files, other external issues might be to blame. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for CA1 are wrong
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the CA1 file inside the Windows Registry
  • Corrupt install of Recoil or other CA1-related program
  • File corruption affecting your CA1 file
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your CA1
  • Device drivers for CA1-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open CrackArt Picture Image files
