What is CSP file?

The CSP file has been categorized as Vector Image Files. The creator of this file is Corel Corporation. Vector Image Files consists of 138 similar files. CorelDRAW Service Bureau Profiler Format 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 CorelDRAW. This was created by Corel Corporation.

How to open CSP file?

An often recurring problem with CorelDRAW Service Bureau Profiler Format is that CSP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CSP 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 CSP 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 CorelDRAW

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CorelDRAW is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CorelDRAW into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CSP files.

Programs to open CSP file

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

Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with CSP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CSP file to open in the CorelDRAW application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CorelDRAW application as the default for handling the CSP file.

Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CorelDRAW program, it is possible that CorelDRAW Service Bureau Profiler Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The CSP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CSP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CSP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CSP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CSP 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.
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 CSP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CSP 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.
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 CSP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CSP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CSP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
