If the .SAR file is known to your system, then you can open it by double-clicking the mouse or pressing ENTER. This operation will launch applications associated with the .SAR file installed on the system. If the system encounters a file for the first time and there are no corresponding associations, the action will end with the system prompting you to find the corresponding software on your computer or on the Internet.
Sometimes it happens that the wrong program is assigned to serve the .SAR file type. This happens as a result of the action of hostile programs such as viruses or malware, but most often it is the result of an application being mistakenly associated with the .SAR file extension. If, when servicing a new .SAR file type, we specify the wrong program to the system, the system will erroneously recommend its use whenever a file of this type is encountered. In this case, you should try to select the appropriate application again. Right-click on the .SAR file, and then select from the menu the option "Open With..." and then "Choose default program". Now select one of the installed applications from the above list and try again.

Manual editing of the Windows Registry
If our system cannot cope with the .SAR extension and all the automatic and semi-automatic methods of teaching it this art have failed, we are left with manual editing of the Windows registry. This registry stores all information related to the operation of our operating system, including the connection of file extensions with programs for servicing them. Team REGEDIT inscribed in the window “search for programs and files” or "launch in the case of older versions of the operating system, it gives us access to the registry of our operating system. All operations performed in the registry (even not very complex ones regarding the .SAR file extension) have a significant impact on the operation of our system, so before making any modifications, you should make sure that a copy of the current registry is made. The section we are interested in is the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The following instructions show, step by step, how to modify the registry, specifically the registry entry containing information about the .SAR file.
Step by step
- Click “start” button
- In the “find programs and files” window (in older versions of Windows this is the “Run” window), enter the command “regedit” and then confirm the operation with the “ENTER” key. This operation will launch the system registry editor. This tool will allow you not only to view existing records, but also to modify, add or delete them manually. Due to the fact that the Windows registry is key to its operation, all operations carried out on it should be performed judiciously and consciously. Carelessly removing or modifying an inappropriate key may permanently damage the operating system.
- Using the ctr+F key combination or the Edit menu and the “Find” option, find the .SAR extension you are interested in by entering it in the search engine window. Confirm by pressing OK or using the ENTER key.
- Backup copy. It is extremely important to create a backup copy of the registry before making any changes to it. Every change has an impact on the operation of our computer. In extreme cases, erroneous modification of the registry may result in the system being unable to restart.
- The value you are interested in regarding the extension can be manually edited by changing the keys assigned to the found extension.SAR. In this place, you can also independently create the desired entry with the extension a.SAR if it is not in the registry. All available options are located in the handy menu (right mouse button) or in the "Edit" menu after placing the cursor in the appropriate place on the screen.
- After you finish editing the entry for the .SAR extension, close the system registry. The introduced changes will take effect after restarting the operating system.

If the steps do not solve the problem and you are still having problems opening SAR files, this may be due to lack of available system resources. Some versions of SAR files may require a significant amount of resources (e.g. memory/RAM, processing power) to properly open on your computer. This problem is quite common if you are using fairly old computer hardware and at the same time a much newer operating system.
This problem can occur when the computer is having difficulty keeping up with a task because the operating system (and other services running in the background) may consume too many resources to open the SAR file. Try closing all applications on your PC before opening Saracen Paint Image. Freeing up all available resources on your computer will provide the best conditions for attempting to open the SAR file.
If you completed all the steps described above and your SAR file still won't open, you may need to run equipment update. In most cases, even when using older versions of hardware, the processing power can still be more than sufficient for most user applications (unless you're doing a lot of CPU-intensive work, such as 3D rendering, financial/scientific modeling, or intensive multimedia work) . Thus, it is likely that your computer does not have enough memory(commonly called "RAM" or random access memory) to perform the task of opening a file.
Try refreshing your memory to see if this will help you open the SAR file. Today, memory upgrades are quite affordable and very easy to install, even for the average computer user. As a bonus, you you'll probably see a nice performance boost while your computer performs other tasks.
