Step 1. Install SynclavierX

Programs to open SOPT file
Remember to download programs supporting SOPT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SynclavierX with SOPT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SOPT file still does not use the SynclavierX program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 SynclavierX application as the default for handling the SOPT file.
Step 3. Update SynclavierX to the latest version
If, however, after binding SynclavierX with Synclavier Optical Disk Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOPT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SOPT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SOPT 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SOPT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SOPT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SOPT file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SOPT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SOPT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SOPT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SOPT file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
