How to open WAVM file?
The main problem with XWE Data Format is that the WAVM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WAVM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WAVM 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 XWE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XWE is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XWE into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WAVM files.
Programs to open WAVM file
Remember to download programs supporting WAVM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XWE with WAVM files
If, despite the installed application, the WAVM file does not start in the XWE application, you must create a file 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WAVM file with the XWE program.
Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version
If, however, after binding XWE with XWE Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WAVM 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. This suggests truncating the WAVM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 WAVM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WAVM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WAVM file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WAVM file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WAVM 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. If possible, you can try to move the WAVM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WAVM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
