Step 2. Create association of Gephi with GEPHI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GEPHI file to open in the Gephi 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Gephi application as the default for handling the GEPHI file.

Step 3. Update Gephi to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Gephi program with the Gephi Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gephi.org page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEPHI 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GEPHI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GEPHI file. Sometimes virus-infected GEPHI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GEPHI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GEPHI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GEPHI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GEPHI file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GEPHI to close. However, some background programs may block the GEPHI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
