How to open SAA file?
The main problem with SecretAgent Encrypted Archive is that the SAA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SAA 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 SAA 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. This can be achieved by typing SecretAgent into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SAA.
Programs to open SAA file
Remember to download programs supporting SAA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SecretAgent with SAA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAA file still does not use the SecretAgent 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SAA file with the SecretAgent application.
Step 3. Update SecretAgent to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SecretAgent program, it is possible that SecretAgent Encrypted Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Information Security Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SAA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 SAA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SAA 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 SAA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Information Security Corp.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SAA 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 SAA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SAA to close. 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.
