How to open LCLW file?

An often recurring problem with ClarisWorks Art Library is that LCLW is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LCLW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LCLW 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 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with LCLW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LCLW file to open in the ClarisWorks application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ClarisWorks application as the default for handling the LCLW file.

Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ClarisWorks program with the ClarisWorks Art Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LCLW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LCLW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LCLW file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LCLW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LCLW 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 option of recovering data from damaged LCLW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LCLW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LCLW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LCLW file again. However, some background programs may block the LCLW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
