  • Whether the GS file is damaged.
  • Whether the GS file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the GS file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the GS file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the GS file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a GS file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a GS file.

If the GS file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
