How to open SN4 file?
The most common problem when using Drive SnapShot Partial Disk Image is that a specific SN4 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SN4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SN4 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 Drive Snapshot
In this case, you should first verify that the Drive Snapshot application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Drive Snapshot in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SN4 with Drive Snapshot. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SN4 files.
Programs to open SN4 file
Remember to download programs supporting SN4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drive Snapshot with SN4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SN4 file to open in the Drive Snapshot 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Drive Snapshot application as the default for handling the SN4 file.
Step 3. Update Drive Snapshot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Drive Snapshot program with the Drive SnapShot Partial Disk Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Tom Ehlert Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SN4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SN4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SN4 file. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SN4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SN4 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 SN4 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged SN4 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Tom Ehlert Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SN4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the SN4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SN4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SN4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
