How to open SGV file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SGV 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 StarOffice
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StarOffice is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name StarOffice into the system search engine.

Remember to download programs supporting SGV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StarOffice with SGV files
If, despite the installed application, the SGV file does not start in the StarOffice 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SGV file with the StarOffice program.
Step 3. Update StarOffice to the latest version
If, however, after binding StarOffice with StarOffice StarDraw 2.0 Picture Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Oracle Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SGV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SGV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SGV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SGV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SGV 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SGV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SGV 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 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. Copying the SGV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SGV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SGV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
