Programs to open FPF file
Remember to download programs supporting FPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IKEA Home Planner with FPF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FPF file still does not use the IKEA Home Planner 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FPF file with the IKEA Home Planner application.
Step 3. Update IKEA Home Planner to the latest version
If, however, after binding IKEA Home Planner with IKEA Home Planner Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Inter IKEA Systems B.V. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPF 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FPF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FPF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FPF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FPF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FPF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IKEA
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FPF 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FPF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FPF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
