What is SMPS file?
The file with the extension SMPS is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by LINDO SYSTEMS. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. LINDO API is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The LINDO API application is recommended to open the file. It was released by LINDO SYSTEMS.
How to open SMPS file?
An often recurring problem with LINDO API is that SMPS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SMPS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMPS 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 LINDO API
In this case, you should first verify that the LINDO API application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LINDO API into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SMPS with LINDO API. Below is a list of programs that support the file SMPS.
Programs to open SMPS file
Remember to download programs supporting SMPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LINDO API with SMPS files
If, despite the installed application, the SMPS file does not start in the LINDO API application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 SMPS file with the LINDO API program.
Step 3. Update LINDO API to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LINDO API program with the LINDO API file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the LINDO SYSTEMS website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMPS 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 SMPS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SMPS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SMPS file. Sometimes virus-infected SMPS 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 SMPS files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SMPS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LINDO SYSTEMS
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SMPS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SMPS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SMPS 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. However, some background programs may block the SMPS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
