How to open SP* file?

The most common problem when using XWE Data Format is that a specific SP* is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SP* files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SP* 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 XWE

The first step is to check if the computer has the XWE program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XWE in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SP* with XWE. Below is a list of programs that support the file SP*.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with SP* files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SP* file to open in the XWE application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XWE application as the default for handling the SP* file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, however, after binding XWE with XWE Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SP* 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SP* file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SP* or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SP* 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 SP* 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SP* files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SP* files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SP* file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SP* file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SP* to close. However, some background programs may block the SP* file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
