How to open CVW file?
The main problem with CaseView Document is that the CVW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CVW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CVW 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 CaseView
The first step is to check if the computer has the CaseView program installed. To do this, enter the name CaseView into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file CVW.
Programs to open CVW file
Remember to download programs supporting CVW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CaseView with CVW files
If, despite the installed application, the CVW file does not start in the CaseView application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CVW file with the CaseView application.
Step 3. Update CaseView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CaseView program with the CaseView Document 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 CaseWare International Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CVW 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. Usually this applies to CVW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CVW file. However, remember that not every infected CVW 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 CVW 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CVW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use CaseWare help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CVW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CVW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CVW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CVW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
