Step 2. Create association of WOW! with REG-AUTO files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the REG-AUTO file to open in the WOW! 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the REG-AUTO file with the WOW! application.

Step 3. Update WOW! to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WOW! program, it is possible that WOW! Registration Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Würth page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REG-AUTO 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 suggests truncating the REG-AUTO file contents when downloading or copying. 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. 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 REG-AUTO file. However, remember that not every infected REG-AUTO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the REG-AUTO files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular REG-AUTO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted REG-AUTO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move REG-AUTO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the REG-AUTO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the REG-AUTO file again. 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.
