How to open BMA file?
The most common problem when using Compressed Archive is that a specific BMA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BMA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMA 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 BMA archiver
The first step is to check if the computer has the BMA archiver program installed. This can be achieved by typing BMA archiver 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support BMA files.
Programs to open BMA file
Remember to download programs supporting BMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BMA archiver with BMA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMA file to open in the BMA archiver 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BMA file with the BMA archiver program.
Step 3. Update BMA archiver to the latest version
If, however, after binding BMA archiver with Compressed Archive 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 Alexander Cherenkov page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BMA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BMA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 BMA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BMA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BMA 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BMA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alexander Cherenkov help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BMA 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. It is best to move BMA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BMA file again. 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.
