Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL21 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SL21 file still does not use the HLSW Game Server Tool program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL21 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SL21 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 SL21 file. Sometimes virus-infected SL21 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SL21 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SL21 files. 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SL21 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SL21 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SL21 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
