How to open ISTG file?
The most common problem when using ISOE Imagine Stage is that a specific ISTG is not associated with the program. This causes the file ISTG 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 ISTG 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 Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE)
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ISTG files.
Programs to open ISTG file
Remember to download programs supporting ISTG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) with ISTG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISTG file to open in the Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ISTG file with the Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) application.
Step 3. Update Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Imagine Stage/Object Examiner (ISOE) program with the ISOE Imagine Stage file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISTG 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 suggests truncating the ISTG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ISTG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ISTG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ISTG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ISTG file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ISTG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ISTG 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 ISTG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
