How to open 172 file?

The main problem with Winfunktion Mathematik V8.0 Julia Fractal is that the 172 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open 172, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 172 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 Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18

In this case, you should first verify that the Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support 172 files.

Programs to open 172 file

Remember to download programs supporting 172 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 with 172 files

If, despite the installed application, the 172 file does not start in the Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 172 file with the Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 program.

Step 3. Update Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Winfunktion Mathematik Plus 18 program, it is possible that Winfunktion Mathematik V8.0 Julia Fractal requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the bhv Publishing GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 172 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 172 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 172 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 172 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 172 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move 172 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 172 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
