How to open AGW file?

The main problem with Aspen Graphics is that the AGW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AGW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGW 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 Aspen Graphics

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aspen Graphics is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Aspen Graphics into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AGW files.

Programs to open AGW file

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

Step 2. Create association of Aspen Graphics with AGW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AGW file still does not use the Aspen Graphics 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AGW file with the Aspen Graphics application.

Step 3. Update Aspen Graphics to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Aspen Graphics program with the Aspen Graphics file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Aspen Research Group Ltd. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AGW file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AGW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AGW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AGW 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 option of recovering data from damaged AGW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Aspen Research Group Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGW files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the AGW 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
