Programs to open PAW file
Remember to download programs supporting PAW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of pawaaFILE Application with PAW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PAW file still does not use the pawaaFILE Application program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the pawaaFILE Application application as the default for handling the PAW file.
Step 3. Update pawaaFILE Application to the latest version
If, however, after binding pawaaFILE Application with Pawaa Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PAW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PAW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PAW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PAW file. Sometimes virus-infected PAW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PAW file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PAW file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PAW 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PAW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
