Programs to open SAFE file
Remember to download programs supporting SAFE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WM Keeper CLASSIC with SAFE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAFE file still does not use the WM Keeper CLASSIC program, it means no 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SAFE file with the WM Keeper CLASSIC program.
Step 3. Update WM Keeper CLASSIC to the latest version
If, however, after binding WM Keeper CLASSIC with WM Keeper CLASSIC Purse Format Backup 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 WebMoney website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAFE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SAFE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SAFE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SAFE 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 SAFE 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged SAFE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WebMoney
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SAFE 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. If possible, you can try to move the SAFE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SAFE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SAFE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SAFE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
