How to open STYK file?
The most common problem when using Stykz Stick Figure is that a specific STYK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open STYK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STYK 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 Stykz
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Stykz is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Stykz in it. 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 STYK files.
Programs to open STYK file
Remember to download programs supporting STYK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Stykz with STYK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STYK file to open in the Stykz 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STYK file with the Stykz application.
Step 3. Update Stykz to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Stykz program with the Stykz Stick Figure file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sons of Thunder Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STYK 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. This suggests truncating the STYK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STYK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STYK 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 STYK 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged STYK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sons of Thunder Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STYK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the STYK file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STYK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the STYK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
