Step 2. Create association of SEO SpyGlass with SPY files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPY file still does not use the SEO SpyGlass program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 SEO SpyGlass application as the default for handling the SPY file.

Step 3. Update SEO SpyGlass to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SEO SpyGlass program, it is possible that SEO SpyGlass Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Link-Assistant.com website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The SPY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SPY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 SPY or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SPY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SPY file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPY files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 SPY file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SPY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SPY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
