How to open WF1 file?

An often recurring problem with EViews Work is that WF1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WF1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WF1 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 EViews

In this case, you should first verify that the EViews application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name EViews into the 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 WF1 files.

Step 2. Create association of EViews with WF1 files

If, despite the installed application, the WF1 file does not start in the EViews application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 WF1 file with the EViews application.

Step 3. Update EViews to the latest version

If, despite the association of the EViews program with the EViews Work file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Quantitative Micro Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WF1 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The WF1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WF1 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WF1 file. However, remember that not every infected WF1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WF1 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WF1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Quantitative Micro Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WF1 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WF1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WF1 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 WF1 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
