How to open IGO file?

An often recurring problem with Instagram JPEG Picture Image is that IGO is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IGO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGO 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 Instagram

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Instagram is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Instagram into the operating 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 IGO.

Programs to open IGO file

Remember to download programs supporting IGO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Instagram with IGO files

If, despite the installed application, the IGO file does not start in the Instagram 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IGO file with the Instagram program.

Step 3. Update Instagram to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Instagram program, it is possible that Instagram JPEG Picture Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Facebook, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IGO file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IGO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IGO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IGO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IGO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Facebook, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IGO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IGO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
