How to open CM2 file?
The most common problem when using Poser Camera Set Format is that a specific CM2 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CM2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CM2 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 Micro Poser
The first step is to check if the computer has the Micro Poser program installed. To do this, enter the name Micro Poser 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 CM2 with Micro Poser. Below is a list of programs that support the file CM2.
Programs to open CM2 file
Remember to download programs supporting CM2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with CM2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CM2 file to open in the Micro Poser 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Micro Poser application as the default for handling the CM2 file.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Micro Poser program with the Poser Camera Set Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CM2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CM2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CM2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CM2 file. However, remember that not every infected CM2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CM2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CM2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CM2 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 CM2 to a different directory.
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 CM2 file again. 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.
