Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with VW3 files

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VW3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VW3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VW3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VW3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VW3 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VW3 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VW3 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VW3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VW3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VW3 file again. However, some background programs may block the VW3 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
