How to open WIPEINFO file?
The most common problem when using Norton Utilities Sendto is that a specific WIPEINFO is not associated with the program. This causes the file WIPEINFO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIPEINFO 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 Norton Utilities
The first step is to check if the computer has the Norton Utilities program installed. This can be achieved by typing Norton Utilities 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 is a list of programs that support the file WIPEINFO.
Programs to open WIPEINFO file
Remember to download programs supporting WIPEINFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Utilities with WIPEINFO files
If, despite the installed application, the WIPEINFO file does not start in the Norton Utilities application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WIPEINFO file with the Norton Utilities program.
Step 3. Update Norton Utilities to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Norton Utilities program, it is possible that Norton Utilities Sendto requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIPEINFO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WIPEINFO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WIPEINFO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WIPEINFO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WIPEINFO 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.
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 ability to automatically repair WIPEINFO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WIPEINFO 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 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 WIPEINFO 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WIPEINFO to close. However, some background programs may block the WIPEINFO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
