How to open IS4 file?

An often recurring problem with SmartWare Input Screen is that IS4 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IS4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IS4 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. This can be achieved by typing SmartWare into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IS4 files.

Programs to open IS4 file

Remember to download programs supporting IS4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with IS4 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IS4 file to open in the SmartWare application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IS4 file with the SmartWare application.

Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SmartWare program with the SmartWare Input Screen file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SmartWare Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IS4 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The IS4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IS4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IS4 file. However, remember that not every infected IS4 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 IS4 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 IS4 files. 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IS4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the IS4 file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IS4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IS4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
