How to open WAFLIB file?
An often recurring problem with DWOS Data Format is that WAFLIB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WAFLIB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WAFLIB 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 DWOS
The first step is to check if the computer has the DWOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DWOS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WAFLIB files.
Programs to open WAFLIB file
Remember to download programs supporting WAFLIB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DWOS with WAFLIB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WAFLIB file still does not use the DWOS program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 WAFLIB file with the DWOS application.
Step 3. Update DWOS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DWOS program with the DWOS Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dental Wings page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WAFLIB file
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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WAFLIB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WAFLIB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WAFLIB 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 WAFLIB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WAFLIB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WAFLIB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the WAFLIB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WAFLIB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WAFLIB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WAFLIB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
