XL-Paint Picture Image Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open XLP file?
The main problem with XL-Paint Picture Image Format is that the XLP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XLP 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 XLP 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 RECOIL
In this case, you should first verify that the RECOIL application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. 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 XLP files.
Programs to open XLP file
Remember to download programs supporting XLP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with XLP files
If, despite the installed application, the XLP file does not start in the RECOIL 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. 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. 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 RECOIL application as the default for handling the XLP file.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, however, after binding RECOIL with XL-Paint Picture Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XLP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 XLP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XLP files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XLP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
