How to open GGP file?
The most common problem when using GemCom Graphic Format is that a specific GGP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GGP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GGP 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 Gemcom GEMS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Gemcom GEMS is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Gemcom GEMS 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 GGP files.
Programs to open GGP file
Remember to download programs supporting GGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Gemcom GEMS with GGP files
If, despite the installed application, the GGP file does not start in the Gemcom GEMS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 GGP file with the Gemcom GEMS program.
Step 3. Update Gemcom GEMS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Gemcom GEMS program, it is possible that GemCom Graphic Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gemcom Software International Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GGP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 GGP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GGP file. However, remember that not every infected GGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GGP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GGP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Gemcom Software International Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GGP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GGP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GGP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GGP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
