How to open ST45 file?

An often recurring problem with SuperCard Trial Project Format is that ST45 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ST45 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ST45 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 SuperCard

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SuperCard is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SuperCard into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ST45 files.

Programs to open ST45 file

Remember to download programs supporting ST45 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SuperCard with ST45 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ST45 file to open in the SuperCard 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SuperCard application as the default for handling the ST45 file.

Step 3. Update SuperCard to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SuperCard program, it is possible that SuperCard Trial Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Solutions Etcetera website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ST45 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ST45 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ST45 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ST45 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ST45 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ST45 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Solutions Etcetera help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ST45 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. 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 ST45 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ST45 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ST45 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
