Step 2. Create association of WorldWide Telescope with WWTFIG files
If, despite the installed application, the WWTFIG file does not start in the WorldWide Telescope 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 WWTFIG file with the WorldWide Telescope application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WWTFIG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WWTFIG 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WWTFIG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WWTFIG 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 WWTFIG 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.
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 WWTFIG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WWTFIG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WWTFIG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WWTFIG file again. However, some background programs may block the WWTFIG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
