How to open CMDF file?
An often recurring problem with CrystalMaker Data is that CMDF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CMDF 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 CMDF 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 CrystalMaker
In this case, you should first verify that the CrystalMaker application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CrystalMaker 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 CMDF files.
Programs to open CMDF file
Remember to download programs supporting CMDF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CrystalMaker with CMDF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CMDF file still does not use the CrystalMaker program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CMDF file with the CrystalMaker program.
Step 3. Update CrystalMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CrystalMaker program, it is possible that CrystalMaker Data requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CrystalMaker Software Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMDF 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CMDF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMDF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CMDF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CMDF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CMDF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CrystalMaker Software Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMDF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CMDF file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CMDF file again. However, some background programs may block the CMDF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
