How to open GPC file?
An often recurring problem with Genie Backup Manager Plugin is that GPC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GPC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GPC 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 Genie Backup Manager Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the Genie Backup Manager Pro application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Genie Backup Manager Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GPC files.
Programs to open GPC file
Remember to download programs supporting GPC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Genie Backup Manager Pro with GPC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GPC file to open in the Genie Backup Manager Pro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 GPC file with the Genie Backup Manager Pro program.
Step 3. Update Genie Backup Manager Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Genie Backup Manager Pro program, it is possible that Genie Backup Manager Plugin requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Genie9 website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GPC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GPC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GPC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GPC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GPC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 GPC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Genie-Soft Corporation, 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 GPC 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 GPC 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GPC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GPC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
