Step 2. Create association of MicroWorlds with MW2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MW2 file to open in the MicroWorlds 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Step 3. Update MicroWorlds to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MicroWorlds program, it is possible that MicroWorlds Logo Activity requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Logo Computer Systems Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MW2 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MW2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MW2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MW2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MW2 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MW2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Logo Computer Systems Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MW2 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 MW2 file to another location.
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. However, some background programs may block the MW2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
