How to open BVW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BVW 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 SmartWare

In this case, you should first verify that the SmartWare application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SmartWare into the system search engine. 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 BVW files.

Programs to open BVW file

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

Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with BVW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BVW file still does not use the SmartWare program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BVW file with the SmartWare application.

Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version

If, however, after binding SmartWare with SmartWare Backup Standard View there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SmartWare Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BVW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BVW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BVW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BVW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BVW files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BVW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SmartWare Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BVW 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BVW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BVW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
