How to open S19 file?
The main problem with Motorola S19 Format Record is that the S19 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open S19, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S19 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 CodeWarrior
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CodeWarrior is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CodeWarrior in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file S19.
Programs to open S19 file
Remember to download programs supporting S19 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CodeWarrior with S19 files
If, despite the installed application, the S19 file does not start in the CodeWarrior application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CodeWarrior application as the default for handling the S19 file.
Step 3. Update CodeWarrior to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CodeWarrior program with the Motorola S19 Format Record 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 S19 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 S19 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S19 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S19 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected S19 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S19 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S19 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S19 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the S19 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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.
