How to open SMST file?
The main problem with Adobe Soundbooth Music Score Toolkit is that the SMST file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SMST to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMST 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 Adobe Soundbooth
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Soundbooth is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Soundbooth into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SMST files.
Programs to open SMST file
Remember to download programs supporting SMST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Soundbooth with SMST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SMST file to open in the Adobe Soundbooth 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 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SMST file with the Adobe Soundbooth application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Soundbooth to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Soundbooth with Adobe Soundbooth Music Score Toolkit there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMST file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SMST files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SMST or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SMST file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SMST 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SMST files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SMST 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SMST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SMST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SMST to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SMST file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
