How to open FSR file?
The main problem with File Substring Replacement Utility is that the FSR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FSR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FSR 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 String-O-Matic

Remember to download programs supporting FSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of String-O-Matic with FSR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FSR file still does not use the String-O-Matic 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. 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 String-O-Matic application as the default for handling the FSR file.
Step 3. Update String-O-Matic to the latest version
If, however, after binding String-O-Matic with File Substring Replacement Utility there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gammadyne Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSR 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FSR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 FSR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FSR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FSR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 FSR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FSR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FSR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FSR 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.
