How to open GSLIDES file?
The most common problem when using Google Drive Presentation is that a specific GSLIDES is not associated with the program. This causes the file GSLIDES 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 GSLIDES 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 Google Drive
The first step is to check if the computer has the Google Drive program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Google Drive in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support GSLIDES files.
Programs to open GSLIDES file
Remember to download programs supporting GSLIDES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Drive with GSLIDES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSLIDES file still does not use the Google Drive program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 Google Drive application as the default for handling the GSLIDES file.
Step 3. Update Google Drive to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Drive program with the Google Drive Presentation 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 Google Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSLIDES file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The GSLIDES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GSLIDES file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GSLIDES file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GSLIDES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GSLIDES file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GSLIDES files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GSLIDES 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GSLIDES file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GSLIDES 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 GSLIDES file again. However, some background programs may block the GSLIDES file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
