How to open SWI file?
An often recurring problem with SWiSH Project Format is that SWI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SWI 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 SWI 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 SWiSH miniMax2
In this case, you should first verify that the SWiSH miniMax2 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SWiSH miniMax2 in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SWI files.
Programs to open SWI file
Remember to download programs supporting SWI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SWiSH miniMax2 with SWI files
If, despite the installed application, the SWI file does not start in the SWiSH miniMax2 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SWI file with the SWiSH miniMax2 application.
Step 3. Update SWiSH miniMax2 to the latest version
If, however, after binding SWiSH miniMax2 with SWiSH Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SWiSHzone.com Pty Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SWI 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SWI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SWI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SWI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SWI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SWI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SWiSHzone.com
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SWI 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the SWI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SWI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
