Programs to open FSS file

Remember to download programs supporting FSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Micrografx Picture Publisher with FSS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FSS file still does not use the Micrografx Picture Publisher program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FSS file with the Micrografx Picture Publisher application.

Step 3. Update Micrografx Picture Publisher to the latest version

In this case, use the Micrografx, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The FSS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FSS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FSS file. However, remember that not every infected FSS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FSS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FSS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Micrografx, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FSS 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 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 FSS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FSS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FSS file again. However, some background programs may block the FSS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
