How to open JGF file?

An often recurring problem with JAWS Ini is that JGF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that JGF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JGF 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. 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 JGF files.

Programs to open JGF file

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

Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JGF files

If, despite the installed application, the JGF file does not start in the JAWS application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JGF file with the JAWS program.

Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the JAWS program, it is possible that JAWS Ini requires a newer version of the program. 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 JGF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JGF file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JGF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JGF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of JGF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JGF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Freedom Scientific, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JGF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move JGF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 JGF to close. However, some background programs may block the JGF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
