The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to WSPD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 WSPD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WSPD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WSPD file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WSPD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WSPD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WSPD 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WSPD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSPD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
