How to open SPARTAN file?
An often recurring problem with Spartan Chemical Document Format is that SPARTAN is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SPARTAN 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 SPARTAN 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Spartan application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Spartan into the 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 SPARTAN.
Programs to open SPARTAN file
Remember to download programs supporting SPARTAN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spartan with SPARTAN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPARTAN file to open in the Spartan 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Spartan application as the default for handling the SPARTAN file.
Step 3. Update Spartan to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spartan program with the Spartan Chemical Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Wavefunction website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPARTAN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SPARTAN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPARTAN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPARTAN 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 SPARTAN 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPARTAN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SPARTAN 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 SPARTAN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPARTAN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
