This is a program created by B.T. Luke & Associates, Inc..

How to open MOPOUT file?

An often recurring problem with MOPAC Chemical Output is that MOPOUT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MOPOUT 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 MOPOUT 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 DRAWMOP

In this case, you should first verify that the DRAWMOP application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DRAWMOP into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MOPOUT files.

Programs to open MOPOUT file

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

Step 2. Create association of DRAWMOP with MOPOUT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MOPOUT file still does not use the DRAWMOP 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MOPOUT file with the DRAWMOP program.

Step 3. Update DRAWMOP to the latest version

If, despite the association of the DRAWMOP program with the MOPAC Chemical Output file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the B.T. Luke & Associates, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The MOPOUT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MOPOUT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MOPOUT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MOPOUT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MOPOUT files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MOPOUT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MOPOUT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MOPOUT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MOPOUT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MOPOUT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
