  • Whether the SSA file is damaged.
  • Whether the SSA file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the SSA file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the SSA file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the SSA file is infected.
