How to open S08 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ZipSplitter Compressed Format Archive (part 9) is that a specific S08 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open S08, 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 S08 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 ZipSplitter
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZipSplitter program installed. This can be achieved by typing ZipSplitter into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file S08 with ZipSplitter. Below you will find a list of applications that support S08 files.
Programs to open S08 file
Remember to download programs supporting S08 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipSplitter with S08 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the S08 file still does not use the ZipSplitter program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the S08 file with the ZipSplitter program.
Step 3. Update ZipSplitter to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZipSplitter with Split Multi-volume ZipSplitter Compressed Format Archive (part 9) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Lithops Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S08 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the S08 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the S08 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S08 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S08 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S08 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Lithops Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted S08 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. Copying the S08 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the S08 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the S08 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
