The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SCREENSHOT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SCREENSHOT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SCREENSHOT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SCREENSHOT file. 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 SCREENSHOT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SCREENSHOT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move SCREENSHOT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SCREENSHOT file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
