How to open GEZ file?

The main problem with XWE Data Format is that the GEZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GEZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEZ 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 XWE

The first step is to check if the computer has the XWE program installed. To do this, enter the name XWE into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file GEZ.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with GEZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GEZ file still does not use the XWE program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 XWE application as the default for handling the GEZ file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XWE program with the XWE 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 GEZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GEZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GEZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GEZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GEZ 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.
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 GEZ files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GEZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GEZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GEZ 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 GEZ 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.
