Step 2. Create association of Sprint-Layout with LAY6 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LAY6 file still does not use the Sprint-Layout 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 LAY6 file with the Sprint-Layout application.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ABACOM page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAY6 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 LAY6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LAY6 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LAY6 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LAY6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LAY6 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LAY6 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LAY6 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the LAY6 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LAY6 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
