Step 1. Install openCanvas

Programs to open WPE file
Remember to download programs supporting WPE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of openCanvas with WPE files
If, despite the installed application, the WPE file does not start in the openCanvas application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WPE file with the openCanvas application.
Step 3. Update openCanvas to the latest version
If, despite the association of the openCanvas program with the OpenCanvas 1.1 Event Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the portalgraphics.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 WPE 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WPE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WPE 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 WPE file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WPE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Portalgraphics help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WPE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WPE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WPE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
