How to open SDSK file?
The main problem with SafeHouse Private Storage Volume is that the SDSK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SDSK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDSK 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 SafeHouse
In this case, you should first verify that the SafeHouse application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SafeHouse into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SDSK files.
Programs to open SDSK file
Remember to download programs supporting SDSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SafeHouse with SDSK files
If, despite the installed application, the SDSK file does not start in the SafeHouse application, you must create a file association. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SafeHouse application as the default for handling the SDSK file.
Step 3. Update SafeHouse to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SafeHouse program with the SafeHouse Private Storage Volume file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the PC Dynamics, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDSK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SDSK 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SDSK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SDSK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SDSK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SDSK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PC Dynamics
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SDSK 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SDSK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 SDSK file again. However, some background programs may block the SDSK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
