Step 2. Create association of XWE with XA2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XA2 file still does not use the XWE program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XWE application as the default for handling the XA2 file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XWE program, it is possible that XWE Data Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XA2 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:

The XA2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XA2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 XA2 file. Sometimes virus-infected XA2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XA2 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XA2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XA2 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XA2 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 you have to wait for the session to the file XA2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
