The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BW1 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 Byteworx FMEAplus

Programs to open BW1 file
Remember to download programs supporting BW1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Byteworx FMEAplus with BW1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BW1 file still does not use the Byteworx FMEAplus 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Byteworx FMEAplus application as the default for handling the BW1 file.
Step 3. Update Byteworx FMEAplus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Byteworx FMEAplus program with the FMEA Database 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 Byteworx website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BW1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BW1 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BW1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BW1 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 BW1 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BW1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Byteworx help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BW1 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. If possible, you can try to move the BW1 file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BW1 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
