How to open STT file?
The main problem with Streets & Trips Map Template is that the STT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that STT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STT 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 Microsoft Streets & Trips
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Streets & Trips is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Streets & Trips in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file STT.
Programs to open STT file
Remember to download programs supporting STT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Streets & Trips with STT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STT file to open in the Microsoft Streets & Trips application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the STT file with the Microsoft Streets & Trips program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Streets & Trips to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Streets & Trips program, it is possible that Streets & Trips Map Template requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to STT 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 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STT 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 STT files changes over time. 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 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 STT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file STT 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. Copying the STT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file STT to close. However, some background programs may block the STT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
