Step 2. Create association of Starfish Sidekick with SKCARD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SKCARD file still does not use the Starfish Sidekick program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SKCARD file with the Starfish Sidekick application.
Step 3. Update Starfish Sidekick to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Starfish Sidekick program, it is possible that Starfish Sidekick Card Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKCARD 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:
The SKCARD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SKCARD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SKCARD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKCARD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SKCARD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SKCARD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SKCARD 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SKCARD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SKCARD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
