How to open SC2000 file?

Programs to open SC2000 file
Remember to download programs supporting SC2000 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SimCity 2000 with SC2000 files
If, despite the installed application, the SC2000 file does not start in the SimCity 2000 application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SC2000 file with the SimCity 2000 application.
Step 3. Update SimCity 2000 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SimCity 2000 program with the Sim City 2000 Tileset file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Electronic Arts, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SC2000 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SC2000 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SC2000 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SC2000 file. Sometimes virus-infected SC2000 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SC2000 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SC2000 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Electronic Arts, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SC2000 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.
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. Copying the SC2000 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SC2000 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 SC2000 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
