How to open BRW file?
The most common problem when using PointCentral Financial Institutions Loan Format is that a specific BRW is not associated with the program. This causes the file BRW 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 BRW 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 PointCentral
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PointCentral is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PointCentral 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support BRW files.
Programs to open BRW file
Remember to download programs supporting BRW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PointCentral with BRW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BRW file to open in the PointCentral application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BRW file with the PointCentral program.
Step 3. Update PointCentral to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PointCentral program, it is possible that PointCentral Financial Institutions Loan Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Calyx Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BRW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The BRW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BRW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BRW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BRW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BRW files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BRW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Calyx Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BRW 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.
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 BRW file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BRW to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
