How to open VSQ file?

The most common problem when using VOCALOID2 Project Format is that a specific VSQ is not associated with the program. This causes the file VSQ 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 VSQ 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 VOCALOID2

The first step is to check if the computer has the VOCALOID2 program installed. To do this, enter the name VOCALOID2 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VSQ with VOCALOID2. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VSQ files.

Step 2. Create association of VOCALOID2 with VSQ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VSQ file to open in the VOCALOID2 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 VOCALOID2 application as the default for handling the VSQ file.

Step 3. Update VOCALOID2 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the VOCALOID2 program, it is possible that VOCALOID2 Project Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSQ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The VSQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VSQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VSQ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VSQ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VSQ file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VSQ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VSQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VSQ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VSQ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
