How to open CMZ file?
The most common problem when using Compressed Poser Camera Set Format is that a specific CMZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CMZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMZ 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 Micro Poser
The first step is to check if the computer has the Micro Poser program installed. To do this, enter the name Micro Poser into the 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 CMZ files.
Programs to open CMZ file
Remember to download programs supporting CMZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with CMZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CMZ file still does not use the Micro Poser program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CMZ file with the Micro Poser program.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, however, after binding Micro Poser with Compressed Poser Camera Set Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CMZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CMZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CMZ 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.
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 ability to automatically repair CMZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Smith Micro, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CMZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CMZ file again. However, some background programs may block the CMZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
