Programs to open IWCF file
Remember to download programs supporting IWCF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Website X5 with IWCF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IWCF file to open in the Website X5 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IWCF file with the Website X5 application.
Step 3. Update Website X5 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Website X5 program, it is possible that Incomedia WebSite X5 Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Incomedia website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IWCF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IWCF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IWCF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IWCF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IWCF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IWCF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IWCF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the IWCF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IWCF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IWCF file again. However, some background programs may block the IWCF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
