Programs to open DWD file
Remember to download programs supporting DWD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wi-Fone with DWD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DWD file still does not use the Wi-Fone program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Wi-Fone application as the default for handling the DWD file.
Step 3. Update Wi-Fone to the latest version
If, however, after binding Wi-Fone with DiamondWare Digital Audio Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DWD 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 DWD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DWD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DWD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 DWD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DWD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DWD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DWD file again. However, some background programs may block the DWD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
