Step 1. Install SMART Board software

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support GALLERYCOLLECTION files.

Step 2. Create association of SMART Board software with GALLERYCOLLECTION files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GALLERYCOLLECTION file to open in the SMART Board software 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GALLERYCOLLECTION file with the SMART Board software application.

Step 3. Update SMART Board software to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GALLERYCOLLECTION file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GALLERYCOLLECTION file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GALLERYCOLLECTION file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GALLERYCOLLECTION 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 GALLERYCOLLECTION file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GALLERYCOLLECTION files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GALLERYCOLLECTION 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GALLERYCOLLECTION 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GALLERYCOLLECTION file again. 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.
