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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 3. Update RollerCoaster Tycoon to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RollerCoaster Tycoon program, it is possible that RollerCoaster Tycoon Saved Game requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Atari, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SV2 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:
The SV2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SV2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 SV2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SV2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SV2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SV2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Atari, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SV2 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 SV2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SV2 file again. However, some background programs may block the SV2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
