How to open CHKN file?
An often recurring problem with IMVU Create Mode Temporary is that CHKN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CHKN 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 CHKN 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 IMVU
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IMVU is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IMVU 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 CHKN files.
Programs to open CHKN file
Remember to download programs supporting CHKN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IMVU with CHKN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CHKN file still does not use the IMVU program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IMVU application as the default for handling the CHKN file.
Step 3. Update IMVU to the latest version
If, however, after binding IMVU with IMVU Create Mode Temporary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the IMVU, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CHKN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CHKN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CHKN file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CHKN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CHKN 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 CHKN 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CHKN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IMVU, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CHKN 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CHKN 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CHKN file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CHKN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
