How to open SPARC file?
The most common problem when using Skype Plugin Archive is that a specific SPARC is not associated with the program. This causes the file SPARC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPARC 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 Skype
The first step is to check if the computer has the Skype program installed. To do this, enter the name Skype 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 SPARC files.
Programs to open SPARC file
Remember to download programs supporting SPARC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Skype with SPARC files
If, despite the installed application, the SPARC file does not start in the Skype 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Skype application as the default for handling the SPARC file.
Step 3. Update Skype to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Skype program, it is possible that Skype Plugin Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Skype Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPARC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SPARC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 SPARC file. However, remember that not every infected SPARC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SPARC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 SPARC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Skype
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPARC 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 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. Copying the SPARC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPARC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPARC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
