How to open PROP file?
The most common problem when using Spore Property is that a specific PROP is not associated with the program. This causes the file PROP 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 PROP 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 Spore
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spore is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Spore in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PROP with Spore. Below you will find a list of applications that support PROP files.
Programs to open PROP file
Remember to download programs supporting PROP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spore with PROP files
If, despite the installed application, the PROP file does not start in the Spore 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Spore application as the default for handling the PROP file.
Step 3. Update Spore to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spore program with the Spore Property file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Electronic Arts, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PROP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PROP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PROP 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PROP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PROP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PROP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 PROP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Electronic Arts, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PROP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PROP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PROP to close. However, some background programs may block the PROP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
