How to open LWM file?

The most common problem when using LittleWays Map is that a specific LWM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LWM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LWM 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 LittleWays

In this case, you should first verify that the LittleWays application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LittleWays in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LWM files.

Programs to open LWM file

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

Step 2. Create association of LittleWays with LWM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LWM file still does not use the LittleWays 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. 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 LittleWays application as the default for handling the LWM file.

Step 3. Update LittleWays to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the LittleWays program, it is possible that LittleWays Map requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Harald-René Flasch page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LWM 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 LWM 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. 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 LWM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LWM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LWM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LWM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Harald-René Flasch
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LWM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LWM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LWM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
