How to open APMX86 file?

The most common problem when using API Monitor Captured Data Format is that a specific APMX86 is not associated with the program. This causes the file APMX86 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the APMX86 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 API Monitor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that API Monitor is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name API Monitor into the 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 APMX86 files.

Programs to open APMX86 file

Remember to download programs supporting APMX86 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of API Monitor with APMX86 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the APMX86 file still does not use the API Monitor program, it means no association. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the API Monitor application as the default for handling the APMX86 file.

Step 3. Update API Monitor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the API Monitor program, it is possible that API Monitor Captured Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Rohitab Batra website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APMX86 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to APMX86 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APMX86 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover APMX86 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the APMX86 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.
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 APMX86 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted APMX86 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move APMX86 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the APMX86 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the APMX86 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
