The GPR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GPR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GPR file on each system platform.
What is GPR file?
The file with the extension GPR is the Data Files file type. The creator of this file is Molecular Devices. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. GenePix Results Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use Microsoft Excel in case GenePix Pro Software cannot be used.
How to open GPR file?
The most common problem when using GenePix Results Format is that a specific GPR is not associated with the program. This causes the file GPR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GPR 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 GenePix Pro Software
In this case, you should first verify that the GenePix Pro Software application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GenePix Pro Software 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 GPR files.
Programs to open GPR file
Remember to download programs supporting GPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GenePix Pro Software with GPR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GPR file to open in the GenePix Pro Software application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GPR file with the GenePix Pro Software application.
Step 3. Update GenePix Pro Software to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GenePix Pro Software program with the GenePix Results Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GPR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The GPR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GPR 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GPR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GPR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GPR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 GPR file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GPR 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 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 GPR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GPR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GPR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GPR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
