How to open STMA file?
An often recurring problem with XWE Data Format is that STMA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STMA 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 STMA 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 XWE
In this case, you should first verify that the XWE application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XWE 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 STMA files.
Programs to open STMA file
Remember to download programs supporting STMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XWE with STMA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STMA file to open in the XWE 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the STMA file with the XWE program.
Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version
If, however, after binding XWE with XWE Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STMA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the STMA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 STMA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover STMA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of STMA 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair STMA file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STMA 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 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. Copying the STMA file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
