Programs to open W7A file
Remember to download programs supporting W7A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with W7A files
If, despite the installed application, the W7A 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the W7A file with the Awave Studio application.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Awave Studio program, it is possible that Yamaha Motif ES Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FMJ-Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W7A file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the W7A file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file W7A or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected W7A files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of W7A file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair W7A file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file W7A 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the W7A file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the W7A file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the W7A file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
