How to open ALTP file?
The most common problem when using QuickHelp is that a specific ALTP is not associated with the program. This causes the file ALTP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALTP 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 QuickHelp
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that QuickHelp is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing QuickHelp into the operating system search engine. 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 ALTP files.
Programs to open ALTP file
Remember to download programs supporting ALTP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickHelp with ALTP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ALTP file still does not use the QuickHelp program, it means no 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. 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 ALTP file with the QuickHelp program.
Step 3. Update QuickHelp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickHelp program with the QuickHelp 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 ALTP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ALTP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ALTP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ALTP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ALTP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ALTP file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ALTP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ALTP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ALTP 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.
