Programs to open JIG file

Step 2. Create association of Jigsaw World with JIG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JIG file to open in the Jigsaw World application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 JIG file with the Jigsaw World application.
Step 3. Update Jigsaw World to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Jigsaw World program, it is possible that GameHouse Puzzle Jigsaw Game requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Inertia Game Studios website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JIG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to JIG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JIG file. Sometimes virus-infected JIG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of JIG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JIG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact GameHouse, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JIG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move JIG 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JIG to close. However, some background programs may block the JIG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
