How to open CWGR file?
The most common problem when using ClarisWorks Drawing is that a specific CWGR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CWGR 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 CWGR 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 ClarisWorks
In this case, you should first verify that the ClarisWorks application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ClarisWorks 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 CWGR with ClarisWorks. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CWGR files.
Programs to open CWGR file
Remember to download programs supporting CWGR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with CWGR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CWGR file still does not use the ClarisWorks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 CWGR file with the ClarisWorks application.
Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ClarisWorks program with the ClarisWorks Drawing 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 Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CWGR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CWGR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CWGR file. Sometimes virus-infected CWGR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CWGR 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CWGR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., 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 CWGR 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 CWGR file to another location.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CWGR file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
