Troubleshooting Problems Opening AWL Files


Troubles Opening AWL Files

Ad-Aware Isn't There

You attempt to load your AWL file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The AWL File Extension". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Ad-Aware 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: When you have another program installed that you know will open your AWL, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Ad-Aware is Out-of-Date

Your Ad-Aware Language Data file is incompatible with Ad-Aware because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Lavasoft website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Ad-Aware. The primary cause of this problem is that your Ad-Aware Language Data file was created by a different (newer) version of Ad-Aware than what's installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your AWL file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Summary: Not having the right Ad-Aware version on your computer can cause problems opening AWL files.
