How to open VFP file?

The main problem with TMPGEnc VFAPI Extension is that the VFP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VFP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VFP 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 TMPGEnc

In this case, you should first verify that the TMPGEnc application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TMPGEnc into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support VFP files.

Step 2. Create association of TMPGEnc with VFP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VFP file to open in the TMPGEnc 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 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VFP file with the TMPGEnc application.

Step 3. Update TMPGEnc to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TMPGEnc program, it is possible that TMPGEnc VFAPI Extension requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pegasys Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFP 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VFP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VFP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VFP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VFP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VFP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VFP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VFP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VFP to close. However, some background programs may block the VFP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
