How to open CYS file?
An often recurring problem with Cytoscape Session Format is that CYS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CYS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CYS 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 Cytoscape
In this case, you should first verify that the Cytoscape application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Cytoscape into the operating system search engine. 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 CYS files.
Programs to open CYS file
Remember to download programs supporting CYS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cytoscape with CYS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CYS file still does not use the Cytoscape program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CYS file with the Cytoscape program.
Step 3. Update Cytoscape to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cytoscape with Cytoscape Session Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cytoscape Consortium website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CYS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CYS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CYS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CYS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CYS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CYS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CYS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Cytoscape
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CYS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the CYS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CYS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
