How to open CMH file?

The main problem with PLINK Test Report Format is that the CMH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CMH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMH 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 PLINK

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PLINK is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PLINK into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CMH files.

Programs to open CMH file

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

Step 2. Create association of PLINK with CMH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CMH file to open in the PLINK application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 CMH file with the PLINK program.

Step 3. Update PLINK to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PLINK program, it is possible that PLINK Test Report Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Christopher Chang page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CMH file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CMH file. Sometimes virus-infected CMH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CMH 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CMH files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CMH 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CMH 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CMH to close. However, some background programs may block the CMH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
