How to open SAMI file?
The main problem with Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange Format is that the SAMI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SAMI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAMI 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 Windows Notepad
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Notepad is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Notepad in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SAMI files.
Programs to open SAMI file
Remember to download programs supporting SAMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with SAMI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAMI file still does not use the Windows Notepad 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Notepad application as the default for handling the SAMI file.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAMI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SAMI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAMI file. However, remember that not every infected SAMI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SAMI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAMI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sublime HQ Pty Ltd help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SAMI 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 SAMI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SAMI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SAMI to close. 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.
