Notes about the SAM file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The SAM file type is primarily associated with 'Ami Pro' by IBM. Word Processing program developed under DOS by Samna and purchased by Lotus who converted it to Windows and OS/2. Replaced by Word Pro 97. This was a Lotus product. Lotus was bought out by IBM. One user has suggested that the StarOffice (and probably by extension its OpenOffice.org cousin) will open AmiPro files even though they are not listed on the File|Open menu. A converter (ami332.csv) you place in the folder \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv is available.

Cannot access SAM files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open SAM files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
