The main problem with GameSave Manager Settings Backup Format is that the GSMS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GSMS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GSMS 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 GameSave Manager
In this case, you should first verify that the GameSave Manager application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GameSave Manager into the system search engine.

Remember to download programs supporting GSMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameSave Manager with GSMS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSMS file still does not use the GameSave Manager 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GameSave Manager application as the default for handling the GSMS file.
Step 3. Update GameSave Manager to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GameSave Manager program, it is possible that GameSave Manager Settings Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the InsaneMatt page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSMS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GSMS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 GSMS file. Sometimes virus-infected GSMS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GSMS 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GSMS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSMS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GSMS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GSMS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GSMS file again. However, some background programs may block the GSMS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
