How to open SZ3 file?
The most common problem when using ScreamTracker V3 is that a specific SZ3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file SZ3 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 SZ3 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 Scream Tracker

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SZ3.
Programs to open SZ3 file
Remember to download programs supporting SZ3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Scream Tracker with SZ3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SZ3 file to open in the Scream Tracker application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Scream Tracker application as the default for handling the SZ3 file.
Step 3. Update Scream Tracker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Scream Tracker with ScreamTracker V3 there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Psi website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SZ3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SZ3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SZ3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SZ3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SZ3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SZ3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Psi help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SZ3 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SZ3 file to another location will fix the problem.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file SZ3 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
