How to open SOS file?
The main problem with Dynamite VSP Swept Object Style is that the SOS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SOS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SOS 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 Dynamite VSP
The first step is to check if the computer has the Dynamite VSP program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dynamite VSP in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SOS files.
Programs to open SOS file
Remember to download programs supporting SOS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dynamite VSP with SOS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SOS file still does not use the Dynamite VSP program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SOS file with the Dynamite VSP application.
Step 3. Update Dynamite VSP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dynamite VSP program with the Dynamite VSP Swept Object Style file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the 3am Solutions (UK) Limited website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SOS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SOS file. Sometimes virus-infected SOS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SOS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ability to automatically repair SOS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact 3am Solutions (UK) Limited
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SOS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 SOS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SOS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SOS to close. However, some background programs may block the SOS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
