How to open TWD file?

The most common problem when using MindMapper Brainstorm And Visual Map is that a specific TWD is not associated with the program. This causes the file TWD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TWD 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 MindMapper

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MindMapper is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MindMapper in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TWD with MindMapper. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TWD files.

Programs to open TWD file

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

Step 2. Create association of MindMapper with TWD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TWD file still does not use the MindMapper 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TWD file with the MindMapper program.

Step 3. Update MindMapper to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MindMapper program with the MindMapper Brainstorm And Visual Map file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SimTech website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TWD 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TWD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TWD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TWD 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 TWD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 TWD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SimTech help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TWD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TWD file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TWD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
