How to open BSWX file?
After double-clicking on the unknown file icon, the system should open it in the default software that supports it. If this does not happen, download and install the PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 software and then manually associate the file with it.
Step 1. Download and install PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3
If there is no PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 or similar software in the system that supports files with the BSWX extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with BSWX. After going to the subpage of the program you will find a link to the developer's website, where you can safely download the software installer.
Step 2. Associate PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 with the BSWX file extension
If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension BSWX. This can be done in two ways - one is to manually edit the Windows Registry and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys. The second way is simpler and definitely recommended for less advanced users.
- Right click on the unknown BSWX file you want to open
- Select "Open with" from the menu
- Click "Choose another application"
- Click "More applications"
- Click "Find more applications on this PC" and indicate the installation location of the appropriate program
- Finally, select the "Always use the selected program to open BSWX files" option and confirm the whole operation.
Remember! Manually editing the system registry is only recommended for advanced users, and changes made to it without proper knowledge may result in damage to the system.
Step 3. Check out other possible problems related to BSWX files.
Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the BSWX files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.
- Check if the BSWX file is not infected - When the file BSWX is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the BSWX file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
- Check if you, as the operating system user, have appropriate permissions to work with the file BSWX
- Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the BSWX file no longer exists.
- Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 application and open the BSWX file.
- Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the BSWX file was not copied completely from the external Flash memory, or downloaded from the Internet. When the file is incomplete, it is not possible to open it correctly. In this case, please download or copy the file BSWX again.
Step 4. Contact an IT expert
When all of the above methods have failed, it remains to contact an IT specialist or developers of the PERFORMANCEPOINT SERVER 2007 SP3 program.
