The BPX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BPX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BPX file on each system platform.
What is BPX file?
The BPX file has been categorized as Graphic Files. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Truevision TarGA Bitmap Image is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The XnView application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open BPX file?
An often recurring problem with Truevision TarGA Bitmap Image is that BPX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BPX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPX 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. 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 BPX files.
Programs to open BPX file
Remember to download programs supporting BPX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with BPX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BPX file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 BPX file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Truevision TarGA Bitmap Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BPX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BPX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BPX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BPX 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BPX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BPX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BPX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BPX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
