How to open GNX file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft PowerPoint Data Format is that a specific GNX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GNX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GNX 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 PowerPoint
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft PowerPoint program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft PowerPoint in it. 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 GNX.
Programs to open GNX file
Remember to download programs supporting GNX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with GNX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GNX file to open in the Microsoft PowerPoint application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GNX file with the Microsoft PowerPoint program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft PowerPoint with Microsoft PowerPoint Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GNX 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 GNX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GNX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GNX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GNX file. 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged GNX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GNX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move GNX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GNX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
