How to open VP4 file?
An often recurring problem with Crystal Player Data Format is that VP4 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VP4 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 VP4 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 Crystal Player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Crystal Player is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Crystal Player 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 VP4 files.
Programs to open VP4 file
Remember to download programs supporting VP4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Crystal Player with VP4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VP4 file still does not use the Crystal Player program, it means no association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Crystal Player application as the default for handling the VP4 file.
Step 3. Update Crystal Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Crystal Player program, it is possible that Crystal Player Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Crystal Reality LLC. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VP4 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 VP4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VP4 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VP4 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VP4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VP4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VP4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VP4 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.
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 VP4 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VP4 file again. However, some background programs may block the VP4 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
