How to open WP2 file?

The main problem with Winplot is that the WP2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WP2 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 WP2 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 Winplot

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Winplot is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Winplot into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open WP2 file

Remember to download programs supporting WP2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Winplot with WP2 files

If, despite the installed application, the WP2 file does not start in the Winplot application, you must create a file association. 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WP2 file with the Winplot application.

Step 3. Update Winplot to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Winplot program with the Winplot file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WP2 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The WP2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WP2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WP2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WP2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WP2 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WP2 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WP2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WP2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WP2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WP2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WP2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
