The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CWZ 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 Circuit Wizard

Programs to open CWZ file
Remember to download programs supporting CWZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Circuit Wizard with CWZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CWZ file still does not use the Circuit Wizard 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CWZ file with the Circuit Wizard program.
Step 3. Update Circuit Wizard to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Circuit Wizard program with the Circuit Wizard Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the New Wave Concepts Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CWZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CWZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CWZ 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CWZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CWZ 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 CWZ file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CWZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use New Wave Concepts help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CWZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CWZ file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CWZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CWZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
