Programs to open IXW file

Remember to download programs supporting IXW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ERDAS IMAGINE with IXW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IXW file still does not use the ERDAS IMAGINE program, it means no association. 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. 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 IXW file with the ERDAS IMAGINE application.

Step 3. Update ERDAS IMAGINE to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ERDAS IMAGINE program, it is possible that ERDAS IMAGINE Toolbar Setting requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ERDAS, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IXW 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IXW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 IXW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IXW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IXW file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IXW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ERDAS, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IXW 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. If possible, you can try to move the IXW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IXW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IXW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
