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 SMDLPROJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SMDLPROJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SMDLPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SMDLPROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SMDLPROJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SMDLPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
