What is ORP file?
The file in the ORP format belongs to the Misc Files category. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. WinSLAM Data Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open ORP file?
An often recurring problem with WinSLAM Data Format is that ORP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ORP 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 ORP 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 Microsoft Translator
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Translator program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Translator 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 ORP files.
Programs to open ORP file
Remember to download programs supporting ORP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Translator with ORP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ORP file to open in the Microsoft Translator application, but you can set it manually. 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 ORP file with the Microsoft Translator application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Translator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Translator program with the WinSLAM Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ORP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ORP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 ORP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ORP 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 ORP 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ORP 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ORP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ORP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. 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.
