How to open SS4 file?
The main problem with SigScribe4 Design is that the SS4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SS4 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 SS4 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 SigScribe 4
The first step is to check if the computer has the SigScribe 4 program installed. This can be achieved by typing SigScribe 4 into the operating 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 SS4.
Programs to open SS4 file
Remember to download programs supporting SS4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SigScribe 4 with SS4 files
If, despite the installed application, the SS4 file does not start in the SigScribe 4 application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SigScribe 4 application as the default for handling the SS4 file.
Step 3. Update SigScribe 4 to the latest version
If, however, after binding SigScribe 4 with SigScribe4 Design 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 MODRATEC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SS4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SS4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SS4 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SS4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SS4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SS4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting MODRATEC, 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 SS4 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SS4 to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file SS4 to close. However, some background programs may block the SS4 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
