How to open SKC file?

An often recurring problem with SideKick Card Format is that SKC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SKC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SKC 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 SideKick

The first step is to check if the computer has the SideKick program installed. This can be achieved by typing SideKick into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SKC.

Step 2. Create association of SideKick with SKC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SKC file still does not use the SideKick program, it means no 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 SideKick application as the default for handling the SKC file.

Step 3. Update SideKick to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SideKick program with the SideKick Card Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKC file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 SKC 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SKC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKC 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 SKC files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SKC file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SKC 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SKC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SKC file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
