How to open GWV file?
The main problem with Groundwater Vistas Packaged Model is that the GWV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GWV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GWV 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 Groundwater Vistas
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Groundwater Vistas is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Groundwater Vistas 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 GWV.
Programs to open GWV file
Remember to download programs supporting GWV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Groundwater Vistas with GWV files
If, despite the installed application, the GWV file does not start in the Groundwater Vistas application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GWV file with the Groundwater Vistas program.
Step 3. Update Groundwater Vistas to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Groundwater Vistas program, it is possible that Groundwater Vistas Packaged Model requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ESI LTD page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GWV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GWV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GWV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GWV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GWV 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GWV files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ESI LTD, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GWV 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GWV to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GWV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
