How to open SMPX file?
The main problem with Finale Accompaniment is that the SMPX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SMPX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMPX 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 Finale
In this case, you should first verify that the Finale application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Finale in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SMPX.
Programs to open SMPX file
Remember to download programs supporting SMPX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Finale with SMPX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SMPX file to open in the Finale application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SMPX file with the Finale program.
Step 3. Update Finale to the latest version
If, however, after binding Finale with Finale Accompaniment there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MakeMusic, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMPX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SMPX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SMPX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SMPX 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 SMPX 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SMPX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MakeMusic, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SMPX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SMPX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SMPX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SMPX to close. However, some background programs may block the SMPX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
