How to open W16 file?
The most common problem when using Genesis 2000 Data Format is that a specific W16 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that W16 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the W16 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 Genesis 2000
In this case, you should first verify that the Genesis 2000 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Genesis 2000 into the operating 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 W16 files.
Programs to open W16 file
Remember to download programs supporting W16 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Genesis 2000 with W16 files
If, despite the installed application, the W16 file does not start in the Genesis 2000 application, you must create a file 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the W16 file with the Genesis 2000 program.
Step 3. Update Genesis 2000 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Genesis 2000 with Genesis 2000 Data 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 Genesis 2000, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W16 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The W16 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the W16 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 W16 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover W16 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the W16 file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular W16 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted W16 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move W16 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file W16 to close. However, some background programs may block the W16 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
