How to open DAWG file?
An often recurring problem with Eliot Dictionary is that DAWG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DAWG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAWG 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 Eliot
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Eliot is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Eliot in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DAWG with Eliot. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DAWG files.
Programs to open DAWG file
Remember to download programs supporting DAWG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Eliot with DAWG files
If, despite the installed application, the DAWG file does not start in the Eliot application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DAWG file with the Eliot program.
Step 3. Update Eliot to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Eliot program, it is possible that Eliot Dictionary requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Eliot Development Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAWG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DAWG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DAWG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DAWG 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 DAWG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DAWG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Eliot Development Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DAWG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the DAWG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DAWG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DAWG to close. 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.
