How to open CM10 file?

The most common problem when using CaseMap Case Format is that a specific CM10 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CM10, 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 CM10 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 CaseMap

The first step is to check if the computer has the CaseMap program installed. To do this, enter the name CaseMap into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CM10 with CaseMap. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CM10 files.

Programs to open CM10 file

Remember to download programs supporting CM10 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CaseMap with CM10 files

If, despite the installed application, the CM10 file does not start in the CaseMap application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CaseMap application as the default for handling the CM10 file.

Step 3. Update CaseMap to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CaseMap program, it is possible that CaseMap Case Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the LexisNexis website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CM10 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CM10 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CM10 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CM10 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 CM10 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CM10 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LexisNexis
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CM10 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. If possible, you can try to move the CM10 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CM10 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 CM10 file again. However, some background programs may block the CM10 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
