How to open AMO file?
The most common problem when using AIM AOL Instant Messenger UI Extension is that a specific AMO is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that AMO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AMO 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 AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)
The first step is to check if the computer has the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) program installed. This can be achieved by typing AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AMO with AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Below you will find a list of applications that support AMO files.
Programs to open AMO file
Remember to download programs supporting AMO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) with AMO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AMO file to open in the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) application as the default for handling the AMO file.
Step 3. Update AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) to the latest version
If, however, after binding AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) with AIM AOL Instant Messenger UI Extension there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AOL Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMO 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 AMO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AMO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AMO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AMO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AMO files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AMO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting AOL Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AMO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the AMO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AMO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AMO to close. However, some background programs may block the AMO file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
