How to open S31 file?
The main problem with SmartWhois is that the S31 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that S31 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S31 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 SmartWhois
In this case, you should first verify that the SmartWhois application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SmartWhois 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file S31.
Programs to open S31 file
Remember to download programs supporting S31 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWhois with S31 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the S31 file still does not use the SmartWhois program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 S31 file with the SmartWhois program.
Step 3. Update SmartWhois to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SmartWhois program with the SmartWhois 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 TamoSoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S31 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the S31 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the S31 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S31 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the S31 files changes over time. 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 S31 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting TamoSoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted S31 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move S31 to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S31 to close. However, some background programs may block the S31 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
