The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMW 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 2. Create association of IncrediMail with IMW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IMW file still does not use the IncrediMail program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IncrediMail application as the default for handling the IMW file.
Step 3. Update IncrediMail to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IncrediMail program with the IncrediMail Sound file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Perion Network Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IMW file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IMW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IMW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IMW file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IMW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Perion Network Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IMW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IMW to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IMW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IMW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IMW file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
