How to open SY~ file?
An often recurring problem with CorelDRAW is that SY~ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SY~, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SY~ 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 CorelDRAW
In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CorelDRAW in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SY~.
Programs to open SY~ file
Remember to download programs supporting SY~ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with SY~ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SY~ file still does not use the CorelDRAW program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SY~ file with the CorelDRAW program.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with CorelDRAW there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SY~ 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 SY~ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SY~ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SY~ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SY~ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SY~ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SY~ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SY~ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SY~ 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 SY~ to close. However, some background programs may block the SY~ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
