How to open GCSX file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Office SmartArt Color Format is that GCSX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GCSX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GCSX 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 Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Office 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 GCSX with Microsoft Office. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GCSX files.
Programs to open GCSX file
Remember to download programs supporting GCSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with GCSX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GCSX file to open in the Microsoft Office application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 GCSX file with the Microsoft Office application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Office program with the Microsoft Office SmartArt Color Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GCSX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GCSX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GCSX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GCSX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GCSX 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 GCSX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GCSX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GCSX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GCSX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GCSX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GCSX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
