How to open W2A file?
The main problem with Yamaha Motif All Format is that the W2A file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file W2A to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the W2A 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 Awave Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Awave Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Awave Studio into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support W2A files.
Programs to open W2A file
Remember to download programs supporting W2A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with W2A files
If, despite the installed application, the W2A file does not start in the Awave Studio application, you must create a file 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the W2A file with the Awave Studio application.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Awave Studio program with the Yamaha Motif All Format 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 FMJ-Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W2A file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to W2A files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the W2A file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected W2A files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of W2A file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged W2A files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file W2A 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move W2A to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the W2A file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the W2A file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
