The 3P2 file is supported on 4 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the 3P2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the 3P2 file on each system platform.
What is 3P2 file?
The 3P2 file has been categorized as Video Files. The creator of this file is Third Generation Partnership Project. In addition to this file, the Video Files category includes 546 related files. 3GPP Multimedia Format is most often found on 4 operating systems. The file will work on Android, Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. There are also 18 alternative programs to handle the 3P2 file. You can use VLC media player, RealPlayer, QuickTime Player, Creator NXT Pro in case Adobe Flash Professional cannot be used.
How to open 3P2 file?
The most common problem when using 3GPP Multimedia Format is that a specific 3P2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file 3P2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3P2 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 Adobe Flash Professional
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Flash Professional is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Flash Professional into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 3P2 files.
Programs to open 3P2 file
Remember to download programs supporting 3P2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash Professional with 3P2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 3P2 file to open in the Adobe Flash Professional application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3P2 file with the Adobe Flash Professional application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Flash Professional to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Flash Professional program, it is possible that 3GPP Multimedia Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3P2 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The 3P2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the 3P2 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 3P2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 3P2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 3P2 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 3P2 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 3P2 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the 3P2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 3P2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 3P2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
