How to open A2P file?
The main problem with Adlib Tracker II Pattern Format is that the A2P file is incorrectly associated with programs.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A2P 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 Tracker II
The first step is to check if the computer has the Tracker II program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tracker II in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open A2P files.
Programs to open A2P file
Remember to download programs supporting A2P files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tracker II with A2P files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A2P file to open in the Tracker II application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A2P file with the Tracker II program.
Step 3. Update Tracker II to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Tracker II program with the Adlib Tracker II Pattern 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 A2P file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A2P file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our A2P file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A2P files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of A2P file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A2P file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file A2P 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the A2P 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A2P file again. However, some background programs may block the A2P file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
