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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SNAPFIRESHOW file

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SNAPFIRESHOW file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SNAPFIRESHOW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SNAPFIRESHOW 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 SNAPFIRESHOW 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 option of recovering data from damaged SNAPFIRESHOW files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SNAPFIRESHOW 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 SNAPFIRESHOW file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SNAPFIRESHOW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
