How to open SA5 file?
The main problem with SecretAgent Archive is that the SA5 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SA5 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 SA5 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 SecretAgent
In this case, you should first verify that the SecretAgent application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SecretAgent into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SA5 files.
Programs to open SA5 file
Remember to download programs supporting SA5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SecretAgent with SA5 files
If, despite the installed application, the SA5 file does not start in the SecretAgent application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SA5 file with the SecretAgent program.
Step 3. Update SecretAgent to the latest version
If, however, after binding SecretAgent with SecretAgent Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Information Security Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SA5 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The SA5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SA5 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SA5 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SA5 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 SA5 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SA5 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Information Security Corp. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SA5 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SA5 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SA5 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SA5 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
