Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with JAS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JAS file still does not use the Corel PaintShop Pro 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JAS file with the Corel PaintShop Pro application.
Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Corel PaintShop Pro program, it is possible that Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Bitmap Graphics Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JAS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The JAS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JAS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JAS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JAS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of JAS 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 JAS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JAS 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 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. Copying the JAS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JAS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JAS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
