How to open FC2 file?
The main problem with Poser Face Pose Format is that the FC2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FC2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FC2 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 Micro Poser
The first step is to check if the computer has the Micro Poser program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Micro Poser in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FC2 with Micro Poser. Below you will find a list of applications that support FC2 files.
Programs to open FC2 file
Remember to download programs supporting FC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with FC2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FC2 file to open in the Micro Poser 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FC2 file with the Micro Poser application.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Micro Poser program with the Poser Face Pose Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FC2 file
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. Usually this applies to FC2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FC2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FC2 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 FC2 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FC2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Smith Micro
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FC2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FC2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
