Programs to open CP2 file

Step 2. Create association of ChessBase Light with CP2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CP2 file to open in the ChessBase Light application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CP2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The CP2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CP2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CP2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CP2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CP2 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CP2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ChessBase GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CP2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CP2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CP2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CP2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CP2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
