Troubleshooting Problems Opening RW Files


Common RW Opening Problems

CyberLink PowerDVD is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your RW file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open RW Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because CyberLink PowerDVD isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the RW file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens RW files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


CyberLink PowerDVD is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a BVE Trainsim Railway Definition File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of CyberLink PowerDVD installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your BVE Trainsim Railway Definition File file was created by a newer version of CyberLink PowerDVD than you have on your PC.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of RW file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening RW files are due to having the wrong version of CyberLink PowerDVD installed.


Other RW File Opening Causes

Although you might already have CyberLink PowerDVD or another RW-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening BVE Trainsim Railway Definition File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading RW files, other external issues might be to blame. These issues include:

  • RW file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the RW file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the RW format
  • Your RW file is corrupted (issues with your BVE Trainsim Railway Definition File file itself)
  • The RW is infected with a virus
  • Hardware associated with RW has outdated drivers
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the BVE Trainsim Railway Definition File file
