The STAT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the STAT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the STAT file on each system platform.
What is STAT file?
The file with the extension STAT is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Statistics appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh.
How to open STAT file?
The main problem with Statistics is that the STAT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file STAT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STAT 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 Sequence Alignment and Modeling system
In this case, you should first verify that the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sequence Alignment and Modeling system into the 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 STAT files.
Programs to open STAT file
Remember to download programs supporting STAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sequence Alignment and Modeling system with STAT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STAT file still does not use the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application as the default for handling the STAT file.
Step 3. Update Sequence Alignment and Modeling system to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program, it is possible that Statistics 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 Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STAT 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to STAT 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our STAT file. Sometimes virus-infected STAT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the STAT file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged STAT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted STAT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the STAT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the STAT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STAT file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
