You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .scw. Files with the file extension .scw can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .scw files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

Files in the SCW format are text documents created using the Write Brothers Movie Magic Screenwriter application. This program has a version for Microsoft Windows-based systems and another version for Mac-based platforms, primarily because the developer of this application want to give users with wider cross compatibility support for collaborating with their peers and sharing their SCW projects with their networks. Classified as a writing studio application, the Write Brothers Movie Magic Screenwriter can be used to conveniently write scripts for TV shows and episodes, movies, stage shows and screen plays. These scripts can then be saved in the SCM format, and the Write Brothers Movie Magic Screenwriter program can be used to view and modify the content of these SCM text documents. Files with the SCM extension can also have formatting attributes and page layout characteristics implemented by its creators using the features provided by the Write Brothers Movie Magic Screenwriter application.

Launch a .scw file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .scw file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .scw files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .scw file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .scw file will open the correct application.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .scw files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .scw. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
