How to open SEM file?
The main problem with Alpha Five Set Objects is that the SEM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SEM 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 SEM 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 Alpha Five

Remember to download programs supporting SEM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alpha Five with SEM files
If, despite the installed application, the SEM file does not start in the Alpha Five 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SEM file with the Alpha Five application.
Step 3. Update Alpha Five to the latest version
If, however, after binding Alpha Five with Alpha Five Set Objects there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Alpha Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SEM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SEM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SEM 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SEM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SEM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SEM 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SEM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alpha Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SEM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SEM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SEM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
