The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BWE 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.

Programs to open BWE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Black & White II with BWE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BWE file still does not use the Black & White II 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. 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 BWE file with the Black & White II program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BWE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BWE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BWE 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 BWE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 BWE files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BWE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BWE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BWE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BWE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
