File extension .CRX

File description

A file that has the CRX extension is mainly a part of the Google’s Chrome Web browser additional Archive file. It may be that some of the files with the CRX extension also be be linked to the Games Course files. Other kinds of files may also be using the CRX file format.

When you come across the CRX file format, it is important that you take extreme care while opening the executable files that you download from the Internet or get through email and are not recognizable to you. This is because there could be some viruses written and could damage your system to a great extent.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .CRX file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .CRX extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .CRX file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .CRX file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .CRX file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .CRX file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .CRX file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .CRX file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .CRX file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .CRX file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
