The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SH3 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 Corel Presentations

Programs to open SH3 file
Remember to download programs supporting SH3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Presentations with SH3 files
If, despite the installed application, the SH3 file does not start in the Corel Presentations 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SH3 file with the Corel Presentations application.
Step 3. Update Corel Presentations to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Corel Presentations program, it is possible that Harvard Graphics 3.0 Presentation requires a newer version of the program.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 Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SH3 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SH3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SH3 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SH3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SH3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SH3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SH3 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SH3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SH3 file again. However, some background programs may block the SH3 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
