Troubleshoot SMP Files


Common Problems Opening SMP Files

SmartMusic is Not Installed

When you double-click your SMP file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have SmartMusic for - installed. Your operating system cannot associate your SMP with SmartMusic, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your SMP file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


SmartMusic Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of SmartMusic won't support your SmartMusic Performance File file. Installing the latest version of SmartMusic from MakeMusic, Inc. is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a SmartMusic Performance File file version that was created by a newer version of SmartMusic than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SMP file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the SMP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of SmartMusic installed.


Additional SMP Opening Issues

Errors opening SmartMusic Performance File files can still occur even with the latest SmartMusic software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SMP files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Invalid SMP file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the SMP file in the Windows registry
  • Corrupt install of SmartMusic or other SMP-related program
  • SMP file corruption
  • The SMP is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SMP file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open SmartMusic Performance File files
