How to open GALLERYITEM file?

The most common problem when using SMART Notebook Gallery Item Format is that a specific GALLERYITEM is not associated with the program. This causes the file GALLERYITEM 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 GALLERYITEM 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 SMART Board software

The first step is to check if the computer has the SMART Board software program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SMART Board software in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support GALLERYITEM files.

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

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GALLERYITEM file still does not use the SMART Board software program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SMART Board software application as the default for handling the GALLERYITEM file.

Step 3. Update SMART Board software to the latest version

If, however, after binding SMART Board software with SMART Notebook Gallery Item Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

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

The GALLERYITEM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GALLERYITEM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GALLERYITEM file. Sometimes virus-infected GALLERYITEM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GALLERYITEM 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 GALLERYITEM files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GALLERYITEM 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. Copying the GALLERYITEM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GALLERYITEM file again. 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.
