How to open JLS file?
An often recurring problem with JAWS is that JLS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open JLS, 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 JLS 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 JLS files.
Programs to open JLS file
Remember to download programs supporting JLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JLS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JLS file still does not use the JAWS program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 JLS file with the JAWS application.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the JAWS program with the JAWS 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 JLS 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. This suggests truncating the JLS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 JLS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JLS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JLS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JLS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Freedom Scientific, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JLS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the JLS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JLS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
