How to open SNX file?

An often recurring problem with PISnoop Workspace Format is that SNX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SNX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SNX 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 PISnoop

The first step is to check if the computer has the PISnoop program installed. To do this, enter the name PISnoop into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SNX.

Programs to open SNX file

Remember to download programs supporting SNX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PISnoop with SNX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SNX file still does not use the PISnoop program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 SNX file with the PISnoop program.

Step 3. Update PISnoop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PISnoop program, it is possible that PISnoop Workspace Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Pi Innovo Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SNX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 SNX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SNX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SNX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SNX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pi Innovo, 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 SNX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SNX to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SNX to close. However, some background programs may block the SNX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
