File extension .SY_

File description

The SYS file when compressed is given the extension of .SY_. This file extension is used to reduce the size of original SYS file.

The file can be decompressed again to SYS file. SYS file is a system file and is used by Microsoft operating system and DOS operating system. Different system files using this file extension have different purpose and are essential for proper working of the operating system. Once these files are compressed their extension is converted from SYS to SY_. In order to decompress or extract this file a specific command is given to the system by the user.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .SY_ file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .SY_ extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .SY_ file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .SY_ file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .SY_ file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .SY_ file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .SY_ file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .SY_ file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .SY_ file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .SY_ file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
