How to open CONF-AUTO file?
The main problem with WOW! Configuration Data Format is that the CONF-AUTO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CONF-AUTO 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 CONF-AUTO 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 WOW!
The first step is to check if the computer has the WOW! program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WOW! in it. 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 CONF-AUTO files.
Programs to open CONF-AUTO file
Remember to download programs supporting CONF-AUTO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WOW! with CONF-AUTO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CONF-AUTO file to open in the WOW! application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 select the desired program. 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 CONF-AUTO file with the WOW! application.
Step 3. Update WOW! to the latest version
If, however, after binding WOW! with WOW! Configuration Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Würth website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CONF-AUTO 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CONF-AUTO file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CONF-AUTO file. Sometimes virus-infected CONF-AUTO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CONF-AUTO 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CONF-AUTO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CONF-AUTO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CONF-AUTO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 CONF-AUTO 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.
