How to open ELPX file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ELPX 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 Elluminate Plan!

Programs to open ELPX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Elluminate Plan! with ELPX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ELPX file to open in the Elluminate Plan! 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ELPX file with the Elluminate Plan! program.

Step 3. Update Elluminate Plan! to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Elluminate Plan! program with the Elluminate Plan! Plan Format 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 Blackboard Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ELPX 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. Usually this applies to ELPX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ELPX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ELPX 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 ELPX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ELPX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ELPX 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. Copying the ELPX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ELPX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ELPX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
