How to open SIS.DM file?

The most common problem when using Ovi Store DRM-Protected Application is that a specific SIS.DM is not associated with the program. This causes the file SIS.DM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SIS.DM 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 Opera

In this case, you should first verify that the Opera application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Opera into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SIS.DM files.

Programs to open SIS.DM file

Remember to download programs supporting SIS.DM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Opera with SIS.DM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SIS.DM file still does not use the Opera program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 SIS.DM file with the Opera application.

Step 3. Update Opera to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Opera program, it is possible that Ovi Store DRM-Protected Application requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SIS.DM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SIS.DM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 SIS.DM file. Sometimes virus-infected SIS.DM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SIS.DM 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SIS.DM files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SIS.DM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SIS.DM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. 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.
