How to open SR4 file?
The most common problem when using SIR Database is that a specific SR4 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SR4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SR4 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 SIR
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SIR is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SIR in it. 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 SR4 files.
Programs to open SR4 file
Remember to download programs supporting SR4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SIR with SR4 files
If, despite the installed application, the SR4 file does not start in the SIR 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SR4 file with the SIR program.
Step 3. Update SIR to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SIR program with the SIR Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SIR website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SR4 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. This suggests truncating the SR4 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 SR4 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SR4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SR4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SR4 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SIR, 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 SR4 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SR4 to a different directory.
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 SR4 to close. However, some background programs may block the SR4 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
