What is JIS file?

The file in the JIS format belongs to the Text Files category. In addition to this file, the Text Files category includes 440 related files. Japanese Industry Standard Text is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open JIS file?

The most common problem when using Japanese Industry Standard Text is that a specific JIS is not associated with the program. This causes the file JIS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JIS 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 JWPce

In this case, you should first verify that the JWPce application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JWPce in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JIS with JWPce. Below is a list of programs that support the file JIS.

Programs to open JIS file

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

Step 2. Create association of JWPce with JIS files

If, despite the installed application, the JIS file does not start in the JWPce 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 JWPce application as the default for handling the JIS file.

Step 3. Update JWPce to the latest version

If, despite the association of the JWPce program with the Japanese Industry Standard Text file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JIS 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JIS 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JIS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JIS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of JIS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JIS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JIS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the JIS 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JIS 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.
