The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A2PANEL 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

Programs to open A2PANEL file

Remember to download programs supporting A2PANEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Aston with A2PANEL files

If, despite the installed application, the A2PANEL 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 A2PANEL file with the Aston program.

Step 3. Update Aston to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Aston program, it is possible that Aston Desktop Panel Skin requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Gladiators Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A2PANEL file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to A2PANEL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A2PANEL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A2PANEL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of A2PANEL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A2PANEL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Gladiators Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A2PANEL 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the A2PANEL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A2PANEL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
