How to open SYD file?
The most common problem when using SYSTAT Data is that a specific SYD is not associated with the program. This causes the file SYD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SYD 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 SYSTAT
In this case, you should first verify that the SYSTAT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SYSTAT into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SYD with SYSTAT. Below is a list of programs that support the file SYD.
Programs to open SYD file
Remember to download programs supporting SYD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SYSTAT with SYD files
If, despite the installed application, the SYD file does not start in the SYSTAT application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SYD file with the SYSTAT program.
Step 3. Update SYSTAT to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SYSTAT program with the SYSTAT Data 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 Systat Software Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SYD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SYD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SYD 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SYD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SYD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SYD file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SYD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Systat Software Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SYD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SYD file to another location will fix the problem.
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 SYD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SYD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
