The SPG file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SPG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SPG file on each system platform.
What is SPG file?
The file with the extension SPG is the Backup Files file type. The creator of this file is SpeedGuide.net. In addition to this file, the Backup Files category includes 243 related files. TCP Optimizer Backup Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use TCP Optimizer to handle this file. This is a program created by Speed Guide, Inc..
How to open SPG file?
The main problem with TCP Optimizer Backup Format is that the SPG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SPG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPG 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 TCP Optimizer
The first step is to check if the computer has the TCP Optimizer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TCP Optimizer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SPG with TCP Optimizer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SPG files.
Programs to open SPG file
Remember to download programs supporting SPG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TCP Optimizer with SPG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPG file to open in the TCP Optimizer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPG file with the TCP Optimizer application.
Step 3. Update TCP Optimizer to the latest version
If, however, after binding TCP Optimizer with TCP Optimizer Backup 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 Speed Guide, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SPG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SPG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPG 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SPG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SpeedGuide.net
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPG file to another location will fix the problem.
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 SPG 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.
