How to open CRASHED file?
The main problem with AbiWord Crash-Saved Document is that the CRASHED file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CRASHED, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CRASHED 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 AbiWord
The first step is to check if the computer has the AbiWord program installed. This can be achieved by typing AbiWord into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CRASHED with AbiWord. Below you will find a list of applications that support CRASHED files.
Programs to open CRASHED file
Remember to download programs supporting CRASHED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AbiWord with CRASHED files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CRASHED file to open in the AbiWord application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CRASHED file with the AbiWord application.
Step 3. Update AbiWord to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AbiWord program with the AbiWord Crash-Saved Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The AbiSource Community page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRASHED file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CRASHED 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRASHED file. However, remember that not every infected CRASHED 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 CRASHED 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CRASHED file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AbiSource
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CRASHED 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CRASHED to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CRASHED file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
