There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAI2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SAI2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SAI2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
