How to open AP2 file?
An often recurring problem with ActivInspire Resource Pack is that AP2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AP2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AP2 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 ActivInspire
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ActivInspire is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ActivInspire in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AP2 with ActivInspire. Below you will find a list of applications that support AP2 files.
Programs to open AP2 file
Remember to download programs supporting AP2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ActivInspire with AP2 files
If, despite the installed application, the AP2 file does not start in the ActivInspire 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 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AP2 file with the ActivInspire application.
Step 3. Update ActivInspire to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ActivInspire program with the ActivInspire Resource Pack 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 Promethean World plc website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AP2 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 suggests truncating the AP2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AP2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AP2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AP2 file. 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 AP2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Promethean World plc help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AP2 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. It is best to move AP2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AP2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AP2 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.
