How to open IS1 file?
The main problem with SmartWare Input Screen Format is that the IS1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IS1, 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 IS1 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 SmartWare
In this case, you should first verify that the SmartWare application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SmartWare in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IS1 with SmartWare. Below is a list of programs that support the file IS1.
Programs to open IS1 file
Remember to download programs supporting IS1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with IS1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IS1 file to open in the SmartWare application, but you can set it manually. 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 IS1 file with the SmartWare program.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SmartWare program, it is possible that SmartWare Input Screen Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SmartWare Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IS1 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IS1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IS1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IS1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IS1 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IS1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SmartWare Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IS1 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 IS1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IS1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IS1 to close. However, some background programs may block the IS1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
