How to open SLDREG file?
The main problem with SolidWorks Settings is that the SLDREG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SLDREG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDREG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SolidWorks
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SolidWorks is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SolidWorks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SLDREG files.
Programs to open SLDREG file
Remember to download programs supporting SLDREG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDREG files
If, despite the installed application, the SLDREG file does not start in the SolidWorks application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SLDREG file with the SolidWorks program.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SolidWorks Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLDREG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SLDREG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SLDREG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLDREG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SLDREG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SLDREG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SLDREG 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the SLDREG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLDREG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLDREG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
