How to open FPXML file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft FrontPage HTML Document Format is that a specific FPXML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FPXML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FPXML 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 Microsoft FrontPage
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft FrontPage is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft FrontPage 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 FPXML with Microsoft FrontPage. Below is a list of programs that support the file FPXML.
Programs to open FPXML file
Remember to download programs supporting FPXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft FrontPage with FPXML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FPXML file still does not use the Microsoft FrontPage 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FPXML file with the Microsoft FrontPage program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft FrontPage to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft FrontPage with Microsoft FrontPage HTML Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPXML 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 FPXML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FPXML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FPXML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FPXML 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 FPXML file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FPXML files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FPXML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FPXML file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FPXML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FPXML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FPXML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
