Troubleshoot WFA Files

Common WFA Opening Problems

WinFax Removed

If you attempt to load your WFA file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open WFA Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have WinFax for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: Another WFA-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Incorrect WinFax Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of WinFax installed that's incompatible with your WinFax Pro Archive File type. Installing the latest version of WinFax from Delrina is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your WinFax Pro Archive File file was created by a newer version of WinFax than you have on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your WFA file and clicking "Properties".

Primarily, problems experienced when opening WFA files are due to having the incorrect version of WinFax installed on your computer.

Additional WFA Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening WFA files even with the latest version of WinFax installed on your PC. If you are still having problems opening WFA files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:
