If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A5M file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no association.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A5M file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A5M or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected A5M file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of A5M 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A5M file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file A5M 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A5M to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the A5M file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A5M to close. 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.
