If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SWT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SWT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SWT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SWT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SWT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SWT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SWT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SWT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SWT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SWT to close. However, some background programs may block the SWT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
