How to open IS2 file?

The most common problem when using SmartWare Input Screen is that a specific IS2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file IS2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IS2 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SmartWare is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SmartWare into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IS2 files.

Programs to open IS2 file

Remember to download programs supporting IS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with IS2 files

If, despite the installed application, the IS2 file does not start in the SmartWare application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 IS2 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The fault may also lie with the SmartWare program, it is possible that SmartWare Input Screen requires a newer version of the program.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 IS2 file

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

The IS2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IS2 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IS2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IS2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of IS2 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IS2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SmartWare Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IS2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IS2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IS2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
