How to open ADW file?

The most common problem when using Tamil Transliterater/font Converter is that a specific ADW is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ADW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ADW 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 ADHAWIN

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ADHAWIN is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ADHAWIN in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ADW with ADHAWIN. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ADW files.

Programs to open ADW file

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

Step 2. Create association of ADHAWIN with ADW files

If, despite the installed application, the ADW file does not start in the ADHAWIN application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ADHAWIN application as the default for handling the ADW file.

Step 3. Update ADHAWIN to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ADHAWIN program, it is possible that Tamil Transliterater/font Converter requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Dr. K. Srinivasan website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADW 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ADW file. Sometimes virus-infected ADW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ADW file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Dr. K. Srinivasan help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ADW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ADW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ADW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADW file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
