How to open 4TW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4TW file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Macro Toolworks

Programs to open 4TW file

Remember to download programs supporting 4TW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Macro Toolworks with 4TW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 4TW file still does not use the Macro Toolworks program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Macro Toolworks application as the default for handling the 4TW file.

Step 3. Update Macro Toolworks to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Macro Toolworks program with the Macro Toolworks Macro Set file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Pitrinec Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4TW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 4TW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 4TW or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 4TW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 4TW file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 4TW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Pitrinec Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 4TW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move 4TW to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 4TW to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
