The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The fault may also lie with the Band-in-a-Box program, it is possible that Band-in-a-Box Song requires a newer version of the program.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 SG4 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SG4 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SG4 file. However, remember that not every infected SG4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SG4 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SG4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use PG Music Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SG4 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SG4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SG4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
