Programs to open AQP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Articulate Quizmaker with AQP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AQP file still does not use the Articulate Quizmaker program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AQP file with the Articulate Quizmaker application.

Step 3. Update Articulate Quizmaker to the latest version

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Articulate Global, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AQP 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:

The AQP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AQP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AQP file. Sometimes virus-infected AQP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AQP 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AQP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Articulate Global, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AQP 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.
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. Copying the AQP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 AQP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AQP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
