How to open STQ file?
The most common problem when using StatSoft Statistica Text is that a specific STQ is not associated with the program. This causes the file STQ 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 STQ 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 STATISTICA
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that STATISTICA is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name STATISTICA 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 STQ files.
Programs to open STQ file
Remember to download programs supporting STQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of STATISTICA with STQ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STQ file still does not use the STATISTICA program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STQ file with the STATISTICA application.
Step 3. Update STATISTICA to the latest version
If, despite the association of the STATISTICA program with the StatSoft Statistica Text file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the StatSoft, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STQ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to STQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our STQ file. Sometimes virus-infected STQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of STQ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STQ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use StatSoft, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted STQ 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. If possible, you can try to move the STQ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STQ file again. However, some background programs may block the STQ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
