Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SGB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SGB 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SGB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SGB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SGB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SGB files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SGB 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SGB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SGB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SGB file again. However, some background programs may block the SGB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
