How to open 3MM file?
An often recurring problem with 3D Movie Maker Movie Project is that 3MM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open 3MM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3MM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install 3D Movie Maker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 3D Movie Maker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 3D Movie Maker into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 3MM files.
Programs to open 3MM file
Remember to download programs supporting 3MM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Movie Maker with 3MM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 3MM file still does not use the 3D Movie Maker program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 3MM file with the 3D Movie Maker program.
Step 3. Update 3D Movie Maker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3D Movie Maker program with the 3D Movie Maker Movie Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3MM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to 3MM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 3MM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 3MM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 3MM file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 3MM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 3MM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 3MM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
