How to open SPAR file?
The most common problem when using Spartan Chemical Modeller Output is that a specific SPAR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SPAR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPAR 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 Spartan
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spartan is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Spartan into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SPAR.
Programs to open SPAR file
Remember to download programs supporting SPAR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spartan with SPAR files
If, despite the installed application, the SPAR file does not start in the Spartan application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPAR file with the Spartan application.
Step 3. Update Spartan to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spartan program with the Spartan Chemical Modeller Output 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 Wavefunction page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPAR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SPAR 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPAR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPAR 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 SPAR 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 ability to automatically repair SPAR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Wavefunction, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPAR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SPAR file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file SPAR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPAR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
