Step 2. Create association of Growl with GROWLVIEW files

If, despite the installed application, the GROWLVIEW file does not start in the Growl application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GROWLVIEW file with the Growl application.

Step 3. Update Growl to the latest version

If, however, after binding Growl with Growl Display Plugin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Growl Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GROWLVIEW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GROWLVIEW file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GROWLVIEW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GROWLVIEW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GROWLVIEW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged GROWLVIEW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Growl Team
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GROWLVIEW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 GROWLVIEW to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GROWLVIEW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
