What is ARBVP1 file?

The main program that supports this format is Google Earth. This was created by Google Inc..

How to open ARBVP1 file?

The most common problem when using Google Earth Shader is that a specific ARBVP1 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ARBVP1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARBVP1 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 Google Earth

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Google Earth is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Google Earth into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ARBVP1 with Google Earth. Below you will find a list of applications that support ARBVP1 files.

Programs to open ARBVP1 file

Remember to download programs supporting ARBVP1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Google Earth with ARBVP1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARBVP1 file to open in the Google Earth application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ARBVP1 file with the Google Earth program.

Step 3. Update Google Earth to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Google Earth program, it is possible that Google Earth Shader requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Google Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARBVP1 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The ARBVP1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ARBVP1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ARBVP1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ARBVP1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ARBVP1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ARBVP1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Google 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 ARBVP1 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. If possible, you can try to move the ARBVP1 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 ARBVP1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ARBVP1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
