Tips to open AGP file
Can't open the AGP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open AGP files as well as a list of programs that support AGP files.
AGP file extension
The AGP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AGP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AGP file on each system platform.
What is AGP file?
The file with the extension AGP is the Raster Image Files file type. It was designed by RL Vision. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. ArtGem Project Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use ArtGem to handle this file. This is a program created by RL Vision. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. The Aspen Graphics programs will also handle the file when the ArtGem program does not fulfill its role.
How to open AGP file?
The main problem with ArtGem Project Format is that the AGP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AGP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGP 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 ArtGem
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArtGem is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArtGem in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support AGP files.
Programs to open AGP file
Remember to download programs supporting AGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArtGem with AGP files
If, despite the installed application, the AGP file does not start in the ArtGem application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AGP file with the ArtGem application.
Step 3. Update ArtGem to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArtGem program with the ArtGem Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RL Vision website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AGP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AGP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AGP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AGP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 AGP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RL Vision
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AGP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 AGP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
