How to open GDW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GDW 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 Jaws Unleashed

Programs to open GDW file
Remember to download programs supporting GDW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Jaws Unleashed with GDW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GDW file to open in the Jaws Unleashed 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 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GDW file with the Jaws Unleashed application.
Step 3. Update Jaws Unleashed to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Jaws Unleashed program with the Jaws Unleashed 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 GDW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The GDW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GDW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GDW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GDW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GDW files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GDW files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GDW 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. It is best to move GDW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GDW 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 GDW to close. However, some background programs may block the GDW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
