How to open SS7 file?

The main problem with XWE Data Format is that the SS7 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SS7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SS7 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 XWE

The first step is to check if the computer has the XWE program installed. To do this, enter the name XWE into the system search engine. 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 SS7 files.

Programs to open SS7 file

Remember to download programs supporting SS7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with SS7 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SS7 file still does not use the XWE 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XWE application as the default for handling the SS7 file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, however, after binding XWE with XWE Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SS7 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SS7 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SS7 file. However, remember that not every infected SS7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SS7 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SS7 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SS7 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SS7 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SS7 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
