The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner.

Older version of DW1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 DW1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Matthew Walker
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DW1 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DW1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DW1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DW1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
