How to open SPA file?
The most common problem when using FutureSplash Movie (Adobe Flash) is that a specific SPA is not associated with the program. This causes the file SPA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPA 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 Adobe Flash
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Flash program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe Flash into the system search engine. 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 SPA files.
Programs to open SPA file
Remember to download programs supporting SPA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash with SPA files
If, despite the installed application, the SPA file does not start in the Adobe Flash application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SPA file with the Adobe Flash program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Flash to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Flash program with the FutureSplash Movie (Adobe Flash) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SPA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SPA file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SPA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPA 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adone
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPA 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SPA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SPA 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.
