What is SVL file?
The file in the SVL format belongs to the Archive Files category. It was designed by SecurStar. In addition to this file, the Archive Files category includes 619 related files. Scramdisk Volume appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The DRIVECRYPT application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SecurStar.
How to open SVL file?
The most common problem when using Scramdisk Volume is that a specific SVL is not associated with the program. This causes the file SVL 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 SVL 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 DRIVECRYPT
In this case, you should first verify that the DRIVECRYPT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DRIVECRYPT into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SVL files.
Programs to open SVL file
Remember to download programs supporting SVL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DRIVECRYPT with SVL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SVL file still does not use the DRIVECRYPT program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SVL file with the DRIVECRYPT program.
Step 3. Update DRIVECRYPT to the latest version
If, however, after binding DRIVECRYPT with Scramdisk Volume there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SecurStar website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SVL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SVL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SVL file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SVL file. Sometimes virus-infected SVL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SVL file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SVL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SecurStar, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SVL 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SVL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SVL 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 SVL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SVL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
