How to open JFF file?
The main problem with JAWS Ini is that the JFF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file JFF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JFF 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the JAWS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JAWS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JFF files.
Programs to open JFF file
Remember to download programs supporting JFF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JFF files
If, despite the installed application, the JFF file does not start in the JAWS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the JAWS application as the default for handling the JFF file.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the JAWS program with the JAWS Ini file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Freedom Scientific, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JFF 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. Usually this applies to JFF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JFF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected JFF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JFF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JFF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Freedom Scientific, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JFF 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 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. Copying the JFF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 you have to wait for the session to the file JFF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
