How to open CAMP file?

The most common problem when using WCS CAMP is that a specific CAMP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CAMP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CAMP 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 Microsoft Color Control Panel

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Color Control Panel application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Color Control Panel into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CAMP with Microsoft Color Control Panel. Below you will find a list of applications that support CAMP files.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Color Control Panel with CAMP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CAMP file still does not use the Microsoft Color Control Panel program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Color Control Panel application as the default for handling the CAMP file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Color Control Panel to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Color Control Panel program with the WCS CAMP file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CAMP file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CAMP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CAMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CAMP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CAMP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CAMP 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. Copying the CAMP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CAMP to close. 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.
