How to open 4FS file?
An often recurring problem with Puppy Linux Save State Format is that 4FS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open 4FS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4FS 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 Puppy Linux
The first step is to check if the computer has the Puppy Linux program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Puppy Linux in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 4FS with Puppy Linux. Below you will find a list of applications that support 4FS files.
Programs to open 4FS file
Remember to download programs supporting 4FS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Puppy Linux with 4FS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 4FS file still does not use the Puppy Linux program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Puppy Linux application as the default for handling the 4FS file.
Step 3. Update Puppy Linux to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Puppy Linux program, it is possible that Puppy Linux Save State Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4FS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The 4FS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 4FS 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 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 4FS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 4FS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 4FS files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 4FS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 4FS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 4FS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 4FS file again. However, some background programs may block the 4FS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
