How to open SAM file?

The most common problem when using Ami Pro Document is that a specific SAM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SAM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAM 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 Ami Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the Ami Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Ami Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SAM with Ami Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file SAM.

Step 2. Create association of Ami Pro with SAM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SAM file to open in the Ami Pro application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SAM file with the Ami Pro application.

Step 3. Update Ami Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Ami Pro program with the Ami Pro Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The SAM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SAM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SAM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SAM 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SAM file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SAM 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.
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. Copying the SAM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SAM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
