How to open DGW file?

Programs to open DGW file
Remember to download programs supporting DGW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Digi-Watcher with DGW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DGW file to open in the Digi-Watcher application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Digi-Watcher application as the default for handling the DGW file.
Step 3. Update Digi-Watcher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Digi-Watcher program with the Digi-Watcher Video Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DGW 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DGW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DGW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DGW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DGW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DGW file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DGW 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. Copying the DGW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DGW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DGW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
