How to open FPIX file?
The most common problem when using FlashPix Bitmap Image is that a specific FPIX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FPIX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FPIX 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 IrfanView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IrfanView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name IrfanView into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FPIX with IrfanView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FPIX files.
Programs to open FPIX file
Remember to download programs supporting FPIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IrfanView with FPIX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FPIX file still does not use the IrfanView program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FPIX file with the IrfanView program.
Step 3. Update IrfanView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IrfanView program, it is possible that FlashPix Bitmap Image requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Irfan Skiljan website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPIX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FPIX 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FPIX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FPIX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FPIX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FPIX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FPIX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FPIX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FPIX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
