How to open LIP file?
An often recurring problem with SLIP Format is that LIP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LIP 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 LIP 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 SLIP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SLIP is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SLIP into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LIP.
Programs to open LIP file
Remember to download programs supporting LIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SLIP with LIP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LIP file still does not use the SLIP program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LIP file with the SLIP application.
Step 3. Update SLIP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SLIP program with the SLIP Format 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 Grolimund & Partner page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LIP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LIP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LIP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LIP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LIP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LIP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Grolimund & Partner help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LIP 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. If possible, you can try to move the LIP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LIP to close. However, some background programs may block the LIP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
