How to open CMI file?
The main problem with The Dig Bundle is that the CMI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CMI 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 CMI 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 The Dig
In this case, you should first verify that the The Dig application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name The Dig 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 CMI with The Dig. Below is a list of programs that support the file CMI.
Programs to open CMI file
Remember to download programs supporting CMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Dig with CMI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CMI file still does not use the The Dig program, it means no association. 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 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 CMI file with the The Dig program.
Step 3. Update The Dig to the latest version
If, however, after binding The Dig with The Dig Bundle there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CMI 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CMI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CMI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CMI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CMI 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CMI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CMI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CMI to close. However, some background programs may block the CMI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
