How to open BMX file?
The main problem with Siemens Mobile Animations Format is that the BMX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BMX 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 BMX 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 Microsoft Paint
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Paint is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Paint into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BMX.
Programs to open BMX file
Remember to download programs supporting BMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Paint with BMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMX file to open in the Microsoft Paint 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BMX file with the Microsoft Paint application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Paint to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Paint program, it is possible that Siemens Mobile Animations Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMX 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. This suggests truncating the BMX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 BMX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BMX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BMX 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.
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 BMX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Siemens
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BMX 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. It is best to move BMX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BMX 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 BMX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
