Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SP1 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 SP1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SP1 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 SP1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SP1 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 SP1 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SP1 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SP1 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SP1 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SP1 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
