How to open GQF file?
The most common problem when using GrafEq Data is that a specific GQF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GQF 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 GQF 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 GrafEq
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GrafEq is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GrafEq into the operating system search engine. 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 GQF files.
Programs to open GQF file
Remember to download programs supporting GQF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GrafEq with GQF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GQF file to open in the GrafEq application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GrafEq application as the default for handling the GQF file.
Step 3. Update GrafEq to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GrafEq program with the GrafEq Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pedagoguery Software Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GQF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GQF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GQF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GQF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GQF 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GQF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pedagoguery Software Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GQF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GQF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GQF file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
