How to open MSPX file?

The most common problem when using Microsoft ASP.NET Web Page is that a specific MSPX is not associated with the program. This causes the file MSPX 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 MSPX 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 Web browser

In this case, you should first verify that the Web browser application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Web browser 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 MSPX files.

Step 2. Create association of Web browser with MSPX files

If, despite the installed application, the MSPX file does not start in the Web browser 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Web browser application as the default for handling the MSPX file.

Step 3. Update Web browser to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Web browser program, it is possible that Microsoft ASP.NET Web Page requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSPX 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:

The MSPX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MSPX 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MSPX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MSPX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MSPX file. 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 ability to automatically repair MSPX file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MSPX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MSPX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 MSPX to close. However, some background programs may block the MSPX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
