CARE-S InfoWorks Phosphorus Detail is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is CARE-S. This was created by SINTEF.

How to open CP1 file?

The main problem with CARE-S InfoWorks Phosphorus Detail is that the CP1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CP1 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 CP1 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 CARE-S

In this case, you should first verify that the CARE-S application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CARE-S into the system search engine. 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 CP1 files.

Programs to open CP1 file

Remember to download programs supporting CP1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CARE-S with CP1 files

If, despite the installed application, the CP1 file does not start in the CARE-S application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 CP1 file with the CARE-S program.

Step 3. Update CARE-S to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CARE-S program with the CARE-S InfoWorks Phosphorus Detail 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 SINTEF page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CP1 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CP1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CP1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CP1 file. Sometimes virus-infected CP1 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 CP1 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 CP1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SINTEF, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CP1 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CP1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CP1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
