How to open SL26 file?

Programs to open SL26 file

Remember to download programs supporting SL26 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL26 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SL26 file to open in the HLSW Game Server Tool application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 SL26 file with the HLSW Game Server Tool application.

Step 3. Update HLSW Game Server Tool to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HLSW Game Server Tool program, it is possible that HLSW Game Server Tool requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Stripf Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL26 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SL26 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SL26 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SL26 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SL26 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.
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 SL26 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Stripf Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SL26 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SL26 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SL26 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
