How to open LPJ file?
The most common problem when using LIMDEP Project Format is that a specific LPJ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LPJ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LPJ 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 LIMDEP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LIMDEP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LIMDEP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LPJ with LIMDEP. Below you will find a list of applications that support LPJ files.
Programs to open LPJ file
Remember to download programs supporting LPJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LIMDEP with LPJ files
If, despite the installed application, the LPJ file does not start in the LIMDEP application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 LPJ file with the LIMDEP application.
Step 3. Update LIMDEP to the latest version
If, however, after binding LIMDEP with LIMDEP Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Econometric Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LPJ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LPJ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 LPJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LPJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LPJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LPJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LPJ 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 LPJ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LPJ to close. 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.
