How to open FD2 file?
The most common problem when using PictureMate Borders Format is that a specific FD2 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FD2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FD2 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 EasyPrint
The first step is to check if the computer has the EasyPrint program installed. To do this, enter the name EasyPrint into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FD2 with EasyPrint. Below is a list of programs that support the file FD2.
Programs to open FD2 file
Remember to download programs supporting FD2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EasyPrint with FD2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FD2 file still does not use the EasyPrint program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EasyPrint application as the default for handling the FD2 file.
Step 3. Update EasyPrint to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EasyPrint program with the PictureMate Borders Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FD2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FD2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FD2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FD2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FD2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FD2 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FD2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FD2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FD2 file again. However, some background programs may block the FD2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
