How to open GKP file?

The most common problem when using GameKeyboard is that a specific GKP is not associated with the program. This causes the file GKP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GKP 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 GameKeyboard

In this case, you should first verify that the GameKeyboard application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GameKeyboard into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GKP.

Programs to open GKP file

Remember to download programs supporting GKP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of GameKeyboard with GKP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GKP file still does not use the GameKeyboard program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GKP file with the GameKeyboard application.

Step 3. Update GameKeyboard to the latest version

If, despite the association of the GameKeyboard program with the GameKeyboard file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Locnet website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The GKP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GKP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 GKP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GKP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GKP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GKP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Locnet, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GKP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GKP to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
