Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with SLS8 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLS8 file still does not use the Microsoft Excel program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

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.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLS8 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 SLS8 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SLS8 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLS8 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLS8 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLS8 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLS8 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLS8 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. It is best to move SLS8 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SLS8 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLS8 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLS8 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
