How to open BTST file?
The main problem with Norton SystemWorks Info is that the BTST file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BTST files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BTST 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 Norton SystemWorks
In this case, you should first verify that the Norton SystemWorks application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton SystemWorks into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BTST with Norton SystemWorks. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BTST files.
Programs to open BTST file
Remember to download programs supporting BTST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton SystemWorks with BTST files
If, despite the installed application, the BTST file does not start in the Norton SystemWorks application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. 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 BTST file with the Norton SystemWorks application.
Step 3. Update Norton SystemWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton SystemWorks program with the Norton SystemWorks Info file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTST file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BTST files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BTST or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BTST files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BTST file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BTST files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BTST files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BTST file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BTST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BTST file again. However, some background programs may block the BTST file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
