What is ISP file?
The ISP file has been categorized as Settings Files. It was designed by Microsoft. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. IIS Internet Service Provider Settings appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use Microsoft IIS in case Microsoft Internet Explorer cannot be used.
How to open ISP file?
The most common problem when using IIS Internet Service Provider Settings is that a specific ISP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ISP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISP 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 Internet Explorer
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Internet Explorer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Internet Explorer into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ISP files.
Programs to open ISP file
Remember to download programs supporting ISP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Internet Explorer with ISP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISP file to open in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ISP file with the Microsoft Internet Explorer program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Internet Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Internet Explorer program, it is possible that IIS Internet Service Provider Settings requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ISP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ISP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ISP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ISP files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ISP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ISP 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 ISP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ISP 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ISP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
