Remember to download programs supporting SAGA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Gargoyle with SAGA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAGA file still does not use the Gargoyle program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SAGA file with the Gargoyle application.

Step 3. Update Gargoyle to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Gargoyle program, it is possible that Gargoyle Interactive Fiction Story Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAGA file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SAGA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAGA file. However, remember that not every infected SAGA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SAGA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAGA file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SAGA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 SAGA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SAGA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SAGA file again. 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.
