If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SL12 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SL12 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SL12 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SL12 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SL12 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SL12 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Stripf Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL12 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move SL12 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SL12 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. However, some background programs may block the SL12 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
