How to open MKP file?

An often recurring problem with Cinestar Remote Control Configuration is that MKP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MKP, 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 MKP 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 Windows Notepad

In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Notepad into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MKP with Windows Notepad. Below you will find a list of applications that support MKP files.

Programs to open MKP file

Remember to download programs supporting MKP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with MKP files

If, despite the installed application, the MKP file does not start in the Windows Notepad 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 MKP file with the Windows Notepad application.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Notepad with Cinestar Remote Control Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKP file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MKP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MKP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MKP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MKP 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MKP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MKP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MKP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
