How to open CGP file?
An often recurring problem with PixelCryptor Encrypted Format is that CGP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CGP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CGP 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 PixelCryptor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PixelCryptor is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PixelCryptor 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 CGP with PixelCryptor. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CGP files.
Programs to open CGP file
Remember to download programs supporting CGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PixelCryptor with CGP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CGP file to open in the PixelCryptor application, but you can set it manually. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CGP file with the PixelCryptor application.
Step 3. Update PixelCryptor to the latest version
If, however, after binding PixelCryptor with PixelCryptor Encrypted Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CodeGazer website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CGP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CGP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CGP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CGP 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 CGP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CGP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CodeGazer
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CGP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CGP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CGP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
