How to open WDM file?
An often recurring problem with BASINS Meteorological Database is that WDM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WDM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WDM 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 BASINS
In this case, you should first verify that the BASINS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BASINS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WDM with BASINS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WDM files.
Programs to open WDM file
Remember to download programs supporting WDM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BASINS with WDM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDM file to open in the BASINS application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the BASINS application as the default for handling the WDM file.
Step 3. Update BASINS to the latest version
If, however, after binding BASINS with BASINS Meteorological Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 WDM file. However, remember that not every infected WDM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WDM 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WDM file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WDM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WDM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WDM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
