Step 2. Create association of Manga Studio with CPG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CPG file still does not use the Manga Studio program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Manga Studio application as the default for handling the CPG file.
Step 3. Update Manga Studio to the latest version

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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CPG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CPG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CPG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CPG file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CPG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CPG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CPG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CPG 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 CPG file again. 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.
