How to open GSCX file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Office Diagram is that a specific GSCX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GSCX, 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 GSCX 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 Office
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Office application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Office into the system search engine.

Programs to open GSCX file
Remember to download programs supporting GSCX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with GSCX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GSCX file to open in the Microsoft Office 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. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Office application as the default for handling the GSCX file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Office program with the Microsoft Office Diagram file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 GSCX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GSCX 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GSCX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GSCX 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 GSCX 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GSCX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GSCX 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 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 GSCX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GSCX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GSCX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSCX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
