How to open WD2 file?
The main problem with Info Select Database is that the WD2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WD2, 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 WD2 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 Info Select
The first step is to check if the computer has the Info Select program installed. This can be achieved by typing Info Select 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support WD2 files.
Programs to open WD2 file
Remember to download programs supporting WD2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Info Select with WD2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WD2 file to open in the Info Select application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Info Select application as the default for handling the WD2 file.
Step 3. Update Info Select to the latest version
If, however, after binding Info Select with Info Select Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Micro Logic Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WD2 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WD2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WD2 file. However, remember that not every infected WD2 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 WD2 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WD2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Micro Logic Corp., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WD2 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the WD2 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WD2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
