How to open SPFS file?

The main problem with Spider VMS Format Storage Format is that the SPFS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SPFS 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 SPFS 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 Spider VMS

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spider VMS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Spider VMS into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SPFS files.

Programs to open SPFS file

Remember to download programs supporting SPFS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Spider VMS with SPFS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPFS file to open in the Spider VMS application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 Spider VMS application as the default for handling the SPFS file.

Step 3. Update Spider VMS to the latest version

If, however, after binding Spider VMS with Spider VMS Format Storage Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Expandore website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPFS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPFS file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SPFS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SPFS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SPFS 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPFS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPFS 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 SPFS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPFS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
