Programs to open SMPD file
Remember to download programs supporting SMPD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sc2gears with SMPD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SMPD file still does not use the Sc2gears program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SMPD file with the Sc2gears program.
Step 3. Update Sc2gears to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sc2gears program with the Sc2gears Mouse Print Data Format 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 András Belicza page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMPD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SMPD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 SMPD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SMPD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SMPD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SMPD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use András Belicza help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SMPD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SMPD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SMPD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
