The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A2DESKTOP 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 Aston
The first step is to check if the computer has the Aston program installed. This can be achieved by typing Aston into the operating 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 A2DESKTOP files.
Programs to open A2DESKTOP file
Remember to download programs supporting A2DESKTOP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Aston with A2DESKTOP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A2DESKTOP file to open in the Aston application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A2DESKTOP file with the Aston application.
Step 3. Update Aston to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Aston program with the Aston Desktop Desktop Skin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Gladiators Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A2DESKTOP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The A2DESKTOP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to A2DESKTOP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the A2DESKTOP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected A2DESKTOP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the A2DESKTOP files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair A2DESKTOP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Gladiators Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file A2DESKTOP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the A2DESKTOP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the A2DESKTOP file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 A2DESKTOP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
