If, despite the association of the Microsoft Solitaire program with the Microsoft Solitaire Saved Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOLITAIRESAVE-MS 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. This suggests truncating the SOLITAIRESAVE-MS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SOLITAIRESAVE-MS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SOLITAIRESAVE-MS 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 SOLITAIRESAVE-MS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SOLITAIRESAVE-MS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SOLITAIRESAVE-MS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SOLITAIRESAVE-MS 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
