How to open AMW file?
The main problem with Alcorn McBride Show Controller is that the AMW file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AMW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AMW 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 WinScript
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinScript is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinScript into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AMW with WinScript. Below you will find a list of applications that support AMW files.
Programs to open AMW file
Remember to download programs supporting AMW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinScript with AMW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AMW file still does not use the WinScript program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinScript application as the default for handling the AMW file.
Step 3. Update WinScript to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinScript program with the Alcorn McBride Show Controller file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Alcorn McBride, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AMW file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 AMW file. However, remember that not every infected AMW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AMW 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AMW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Alcorn McBride, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AMW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AMW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AMW to close. However, some background programs may block the AMW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
