Programs to open 2BP file
Remember to download programs supporting 2BP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with 2BP files

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 2BP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 2BP file. However, remember that not every infected 2BP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 2BP 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.

The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the 2BP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. However, some background programs may block the 2BP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
