How to open CLMS file?
The most common problem when using Clipboard Master Settings Format is that a specific CLMS is not associated with the program. This causes the file CLMS 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 CLMS 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 Clipboard Master
The first step is to check if the computer has the Clipboard Master program installed. To do this, enter the name Clipboard Master into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CLMS files.
Programs to open CLMS file

Step 2. Create association of Clipboard Master with CLMS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CLMS file to open in the Clipboard Master application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 Clipboard Master application as the default for handling the CLMS file.
Step 3. Update Clipboard Master to the latest version
If, however, after binding Clipboard Master with Clipboard Master Settings Format 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 Jumping Bytes page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLMS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CLMS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CLMS file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CLMS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CLMS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CLMS file. 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 CLMS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLMS 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 CLMS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CLMS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CLMS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
