How to open BID file?
The main problem with BidMaker is that the BID file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BID to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BID 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 BidMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BidMaker is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BidMaker in it.

Programs to open BID file
Remember to download programs supporting BID files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BidMaker with BID files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BID file to open in the BidMaker application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BID file with the BidMaker application.
Step 3. Update BidMaker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BidMaker program with the BidMaker file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Avontus Software Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BID 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BID file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 BID file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BID files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BID file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BID file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Avontus Software Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BID 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BID file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BID file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BID file again. However, some background programs may block the BID file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
