Step 2. Create association of Aston with A2MENU files

If, despite the installed application, the A2MENU file does not start in the Aston application, you must create a file 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. 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 A2MENU file with the Aston program.

Step 3. Update Aston to the latest version

If, however, after binding Aston with Aston Desktop Start Menu Skin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gladiators Software page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A2MENU file

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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the A2MENU file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our A2MENU file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A2MENU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the A2MENU files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A2MENU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Gladiators Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A2MENU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 A2MENU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 A2MENU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A2MENU file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
