How to open POST file?
An often recurring problem with LIGHT Format is that POST is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that POST files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the POST 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 LIGHT
The first step is to check if the computer has the LIGHT program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LIGHT in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file POST.
Programs to open POST file
Remember to download programs supporting POST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LIGHT with POST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the POST file to open in the LIGHT application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the POST file with the LIGHT program.
Step 3. Update LIGHT to the latest version
If, however, after binding LIGHT with LIGHT Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the POST file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to POST 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our POST file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover POST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the POST files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular POST file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file POST 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move POST to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the POST file again. However, some background programs may block the POST file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
