Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Expression Web with XWEB3SHTML files

If, despite the installed application, the XWEB3SHTML file does not start in the Microsoft Expression Web application, you must create a file association.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XWEB3SHTML 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 XWEB3SHTML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XWEB3SHTML file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XWEB3SHTML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XWEB3SHTML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XWEB3SHTML file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 XWEB3SHTML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 XWEB3SHTML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XWEB3SHTML file to another location.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XWEB3SHTML file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
