How to open LVW file?
The most common problem when using Livewire Document is that a specific LVW is not associated with the program. This causes the file LVW 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 LVW 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 Livewire
In this case, you should first verify that the Livewire application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Livewire into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LVW files.
Programs to open LVW file
Remember to download programs supporting LVW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Livewire with LVW files
If, despite the installed application, the LVW file does not start in the Livewire 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LVW file with the Livewire program.
Step 3. Update Livewire to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Livewire program with the Livewire Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the New Wave Concepts Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LVW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LVW 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LVW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LVW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LVW 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 LVW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use New Wave Concepts help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LVW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the LVW file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LVW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LVW to close. However, some background programs may block the LVW file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
