How to open 6CM file?
An often recurring problem with Six Channel Module is that 6CM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open 6CM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 6CM 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 Fasttracker
The first step is to check if the computer has the Fasttracker program installed. To do this, enter the name Fasttracker into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 6CM files.
Programs to open 6CM file
Remember to download programs supporting 6CM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Fasttracker with 6CM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 6CM file to open in the Fasttracker application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 6CM file with the Fasttracker program.
Step 3. Update Fasttracker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Fasttracker program with the Six Channel Module file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 6CM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The 6CM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 6CM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 6CM file. However, remember that not every infected 6CM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 6CM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 6CM files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 6CM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 6CM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 6CM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 6CM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 6CM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
