How to open BFX file?
The most common problem when using Bitware Fax Document is that a specific BFX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BFX, 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 BFX 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 FaxSee

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BFX files.
Programs to open BFX file
Remember to download programs supporting BFX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FaxSee with BFX files
If, despite the installed application, the BFX file does not start in the FaxSee application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FaxSee application as the default for handling the BFX file.
Step 3. Update FaxSee to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FaxSee program, it is possible that Bitware Fax Document requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BFX 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 BFX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BFX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BFX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BFX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BFX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BFX files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BFX 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BFX 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BFX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
