Step 2. Create association of SiteSucker with SUCK files

If, despite the installed application, the SUCK file does not start in the SiteSucker application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 SUCK file with the SiteSucker application.

Step 3. Update SiteSucker to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SiteSucker program with the SiteSucker Website Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SUCK file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 SUCK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SUCK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SUCK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SUCK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SUCK file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SUCK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SUCK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SUCK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SUCK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SUCK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
