How to open MWT file?
The most common problem when using MetaStock Stock Analysis Template is that a specific MWT is not associated with the program. This causes the file MWT 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 MWT 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 MetaStock
In this case, you should first verify that the MetaStock application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MetaStock in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MWT files.
Programs to open MWT file
Remember to download programs supporting MWT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MetaStock with MWT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MWT file still does not use the MetaStock program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MWT file with the MetaStock program.
Step 3. Update MetaStock to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MetaStock program with the MetaStock Stock Analysis Template 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 Thomson Reuters page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MWT 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:
The MWT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MWT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 MWT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MWT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MWT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MWT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Thomson Reuters, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MWT 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.
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. Copying the MWT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MWT 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 MWT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
