The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CMF file with the Moviestorm application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CMF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CMF file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CMF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CMF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CMF files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CMF files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CMF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CMF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
