The CMM file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CMM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CMM file on each system platform.
What is CMM file?
The file in the CMM format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is Corel. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Corel Multimedia Manager Album is most often found on 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The CorelDRAW application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Corel Corporation. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the CMM file. The Mac OS X programs will also handle the file when the CorelDRAW program does not fulfill its role.
How to open CMM file?
The most common problem when using Corel Multimedia Manager Album is that a specific CMM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CMM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMM 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 CorelDRAW
In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CorelDRAW in it. 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 CMM files.
Programs to open CMM file
Remember to download programs supporting CMM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with CMM files
If, despite the installed application, the CMM file does not start in the CorelDRAW application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CMM file with the CorelDRAW application.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with Corel Multimedia Manager Album there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CMM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CMM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CMM 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 CMM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CMM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CMM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CMM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 CMM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
