How to open PHW file?
An often recurring problem with PhotoWebber Session is that PHW is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PHW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PHW 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 PhotoWebber
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PhotoWebber is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PhotoWebber into the system search engine. 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 PHW files.
Programs to open PHW file
Remember to download programs supporting PHW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhotoWebber with PHW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PHW file still does not use the PhotoWebber 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PHW file with the PhotoWebber application.
Step 3. Update PhotoWebber to the latest version
If, however, after binding PhotoWebber with PhotoWebber Session there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Media Lab, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PHW 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PHW file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PHW file. Sometimes virus-infected PHW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PHW 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PHW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Media Lab, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PHW 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PHW file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PHW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PHW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
