How to open WOW file?
An often recurring problem with Grave Composer Music Module is that WOW is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WOW 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 WOW 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 OpenMPT
The first step is to check if the computer has the OpenMPT program installed. This can be achieved by typing OpenMPT into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WOW files.
Programs to open WOW file
Remember to download programs supporting WOW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenMPT with WOW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WOW file to open in the OpenMPT application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 WOW file with the OpenMPT program.
Step 3. Update OpenMPT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OpenMPT program, it is possible that Grave Composer Music Module requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ModPlug Central page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WOW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WOW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WOW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WOW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WOW 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WOW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WOW 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 WOW file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 WOW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
