Step 1. Install Chicken Systems Translator
In this case, you should first verify that the Chicken Systems Translator application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Chicken Systems Translator in it.

Programs to open EFS file
Remember to download programs supporting EFS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Chicken Systems Translator with EFS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EFS file still does not use the Chicken Systems Translator program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Chicken Systems Translator application as the default for handling the EFS file.
Step 3. Update Chicken Systems Translator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Chicken Systems Translator with Ensoniq SQ-80 Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EFS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EFS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EFS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EFS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EFS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EFS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EFS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
