Step 2. Create association of Chromeleon with SLG files

This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SLG file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SLG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SLG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Dionex Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLG 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SLG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SLG 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
