Tips to open SSO file
Can't open the SSO file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open SSO files as well as a list of programs that support SSO files.

The SSO file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SSO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SSO file on each system platform.
What is SSO file?
The SSO file has been categorized as Database Files. The creator of this file is SourceForge.net. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. ChessDB Search Options is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is ChessDB. This was created by SourceForge.net.
How to open SSO file?
The main problem with ChessDB Search Options is that the SSO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SSO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSO 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 ChessDB
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ChessDB is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ChessDB into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SSO with ChessDB. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SSO files.
Programs to open SSO file
Remember to download programs supporting SSO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ChessDB with SSO files
If, despite the installed application, the SSO file does not start in the ChessDB 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSO file with the ChessDB application.
Step 3. Update ChessDB to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ChessDB program, it is possible that ChessDB Search Options requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSO 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 SSO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SSO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SSO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SSO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SSO file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SourceForge.net
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SSO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SSO file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
