What is UWF file?
The file in the UWF format belongs to the Audio Files category. In addition to this file, the Audio Files category includes 771 related files. UltraTracker Wave Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. The Awave Studio, UltraTracker programs will also handle the file when the CocoModX program does not fulfill its role.
How to open UWF file?
The main problem with UltraTracker Wave Format is that the UWF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file UWF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UWF 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 CocoModX
The first step is to check if the computer has the CocoModX program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CocoModX 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 UWF files.
Programs to open UWF file
Remember to download programs supporting UWF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CocoModX with UWF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UWF file still does not use the CocoModX program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UWF file with the CocoModX application.
Step 3. Update CocoModX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CocoModX program, it is possible that UltraTracker Wave Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UWF 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UWF file. 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. 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 UWF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UWF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UWF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UWF files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file UWF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the UWF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UWF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
