How to open SFM file?

An often recurring problem with Dart PRO Soundtree Structure is that SFM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SFM 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 SFM 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 DART

The first step is to check if the computer has the DART program installed. To do this, enter the name DART into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SFM files.

Step 2. Create association of DART with SFM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SFM file still does not use the DART program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SFM file with the DART program.

Step 3. Update DART to the latest version

If, however, after binding DART with Dart PRO Soundtree Structure there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the DARTECH, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SFM 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 SFM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SFM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SFM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SFM 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SFM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use DARTECH, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SFM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SFM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SFM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SFM to close. 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.
