How to open SGP file?
An often recurring problem with STATGRAPHICS Plus Statistics Format is that SGP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SGP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SGP 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 STATGRAPHICS
In this case, you should first verify that the STATGRAPHICS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing STATGRAPHICS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SGP with STATGRAPHICS.

Programs to open SGP file
Remember to download programs supporting SGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of STATGRAPHICS with SGP files
If, despite the installed application, the SGP file does not start in the STATGRAPHICS application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SGP file with the STATGRAPHICS application.
Step 3. Update STATGRAPHICS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the STATGRAPHICS program with the STATGRAPHICS Plus Statistics Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the StatPoint, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SGP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SGP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SGP file. However, remember that not every infected SGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SGP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SGP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting StatPoint, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SGP 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SGP to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
