How to open MA2 file?
The main problem with Bibexcel is that the MA2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MA2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MA2 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 Bibexcel
The first step is to check if the computer has the Bibexcel program installed. To do this, enter the name Bibexcel into the 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 MA2.
Programs to open MA2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MA2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bibexcel with MA2 files
If, despite the installed application, the MA2 file does not start in the Bibexcel application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Bibexcel application as the default for handling the MA2 file.
Step 3. Update Bibexcel to the latest version
If, however, after binding Bibexcel with Bibexcel there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Olle Persson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MA2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MA2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MA2 file. However, remember that not every infected MA2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MA2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MA2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Olle Persson, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MA2 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MA2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MA2 to close. However, some background programs may block the MA2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
