How to open JCF file?
An often recurring problem with JAWS Configuration is that JCF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open JCF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JCF 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 JAWS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that JAWS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name JAWS 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 you will find a list of applications that support JCF files.
Programs to open JCF file
Remember to download programs supporting JCF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JCF files
If, despite the installed application, the JCF file does not start in the JAWS 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the JAWS application as the default for handling the JCF file.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the JAWS program with the JAWS Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Freedom Scientific, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JCF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The JCF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the JCF 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. 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 JCF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JCF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JCF files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JCF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Freedom Scientific, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JCF 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the JCF file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JCF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JCF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
