How to open SG2 file?
An often recurring problem with Band-in-a-Box Audio is that SG2 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SG2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SG2 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 Band-in-a-Box
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Band-in-a-Box is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Band-in-a-Box into the operating 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 SG2 files.
Programs to open SG2 file
Remember to download programs supporting SG2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Band-in-a-Box with SG2 files
If, despite the installed application, the SG2 file does not start in the Band-in-a-Box 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Band-in-a-Box application as the default for handling the SG2 file.
Step 3. Update Band-in-a-Box to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Band-in-a-Box program, it is possible that Band-in-a-Box Audio requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PG Music Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SG2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The SG2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SG2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SG2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SG2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SG2 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SG2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PG Music Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SG2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SG2 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SG2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SG2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
