Step 2. Create association of Apple Mac OS Classic with LWFN files
If, despite the installed application, the LWFN file does not start in the Apple Mac OS Classic 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LWFN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LWFN file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LWFN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LWFN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LWFN file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LWFN files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LWFN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move LWFN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LWFN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
