How to open SIK file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Word Backup is that SIK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SIK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SIK 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 Microsoft Word
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Word application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Word into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SIK with Microsoft Word.

Programs to open SIK file
Remember to download programs supporting SIK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with SIK files
If, despite the installed application, the SIK file does not start in the Microsoft Word application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the SIK file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SIK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SIK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SIK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SIK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SIK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SIK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, 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 SIK 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 SIK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SIK 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 SIK file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
