Understanding GRP Issues


Frequent GRP Opening Issues

StarCraft Not Present

When trying to open your GRP file, you get the error "Can't Open GRP File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to StarCraft missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your GRP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: When another GRP application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Outdated StarCraft

Sometimes your installed version of StarCraft won't support your StarCraft Graphics Group File file. Installing the latest version of StarCraft from Blizzard Entertainment Inc. is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your StarCraft Graphics Group File file was created by a different (newer) version of StarCraft than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your GRP file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening GRP files are due to having the incorrect version of StarCraft installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading GRP Files

Assuming you have the right StarCraft version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening GRP files. If you are still having problems opening GRP files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:

  • Windows Registry GRP file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the GRP file inside the Windows Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the GRP format
  • Something has caused file corruption of your GRP
  • Your GRP has adversely impacted by malware
  • Device drivers for GRP-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your StarCraft Graphics Group File file
