How to open STS file?
An often recurring problem with ScreamTracker Song Format is that STS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file STS 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 STS 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 Awave Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Awave Studio application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Awave Studio 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 STS with Awave Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file STS.
Programs to open STS file
Remember to download programs supporting STS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with STS files
If, despite the installed application, the STS file does not start in the Awave Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STS file with the Awave Studio application.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Awave Studio program with the ScreamTracker Song Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the FMJ-Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the STS 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the STS files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file STS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move STS to a different directory.
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. However, some background programs may block the STS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
