How to open SAW file?

An often recurring problem with Living Scenes Jigsaw Puzzles is that SAW is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SAW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAW 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 Living Scenes

In this case, you should first verify that the Living Scenes application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Living Scenes in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SAW.

Step 2. Create association of Living Scenes with SAW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAW file still does not use the Living Scenes program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Living Scenes application as the default for handling the SAW file.

Step 3. Update Living Scenes to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Living Scenes program with the Living Scenes Jigsaw Puzzles 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 Carolina Road Software L.L.C. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAW 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SAW file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAW file. Sometimes virus-infected SAW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SAW file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Carolina Road Software L.L.C.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SAW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SAW to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SAW 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 SAW 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.
