How to open GPS file?
The main problem with GOM Player Skin Format is that the GPS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GPS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GPS 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 GOM Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the GOM Player program installed. To do this, enter the name GOM Player into the 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 GPS.
Programs to open GPS file
Remember to download programs supporting GPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GOM Player with GPS files
If, despite the installed application, the GPS file does not start in the GOM Player 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GPS file with the GOM Player program.
Step 3. Update GOM Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GOM Player program, it is possible that GOM Player Skin Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GPS 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. This suggests truncating the GPS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GPS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GPS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GPS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GPS file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GPS 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. If possible, you can try to move the GPS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GPS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
