What is BGM file?

The file with the extension BGM is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Tom Mulgrew. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Basic4GL 3D Object is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Basic4GL. This was created by Tom Mulgrew.

How to open BGM file?

An often recurring problem with Basic4GL 3D Object is that BGM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BGM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BGM 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 Basic4GL

In this case, you should first verify that the Basic4GL application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Basic4GL 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 BGM files.

Programs to open BGM file

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

Step 2. Create association of Basic4GL with BGM files

If, despite the installed application, the BGM file does not start in the Basic4GL application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Basic4GL application as the default for handling the BGM file.

Step 3. Update Basic4GL to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Basic4GL program with the Basic4GL 3D Object 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 Tom Mulgrew page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The BGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BGM file. 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BGM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BGM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BGM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BGM files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Tom Mulgrew, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BGM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BGM file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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.
