The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL13 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. It is best to move SL13 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SL13 to close. However, some background programs may block the SL13 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
