How to open AS4A file?

The main problem with ActivInspire Resource Pack is that the AS4A file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AS4A 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 AS4A 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

In this case, you should first verify that the ActivInspire application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ActivInspire 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 AS4A files.

Programs to open AS4A file

Remember to download programs supporting AS4A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ActivInspire with AS4A files

If, despite the installed application, the AS4A file does not start in the ActivInspire application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AS4A file with the ActivInspire application.

Step 3. Update ActivInspire to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ActivInspire program, it is possible that ActivInspire Resource Pack requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Promethean World plc page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AS4A file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AS4A file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AS4A file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AS4A 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 AS4A files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AS4A file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Promethean World plc
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AS4A 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. If possible, you can try to move the AS4A file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 you have to wait for the session to the file AS4A to close. However, some background programs may block the AS4A file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
