Issue: You Can't Open BWS Files
You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a BWS file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!
Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses BWS Files
Opening your BWS file starts with understanding which software uses a BWS extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.
BlindWrite Ver. 4 Subchannel Data File and Enot External Photo Viewer Settings are the most popular software packages that use BWS files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download one of these software packages and use one of them to open your file.
Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.
Step 2: Learning More About BWS "File Type"
If you can't download BlindWrite Ver. 4 Subchannel Data File or Enot External Photo Viewer Settings software, or if neither of them work to open your BWS file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".
Most likely, you will find that BWS files are considered Disk Image Files. Because many programs packages utilize Disk Image Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
Please see our chart below of software titles and their developers:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| BlindWrite Ver. 4 Subchannel Data File | VSO-Software |
| Enot External Photo Viewer Settings | Acritum Software |
