How to open CX3 file?
An often recurring problem with CMS Recorded Video Format is that CX3 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CX3, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CX3 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 IDView CMS
The first step is to check if the computer has the IDView CMS program installed. This can be achieved by typing IDView CMS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CX3 with IDView CMS. Below you will find a list of applications that support CX3 files.
Programs to open CX3 file
Remember to download programs supporting CX3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IDView CMS with CX3 files
If, despite the installed application, the CX3 file does not start in the IDView CMS 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IDView CMS application as the default for handling the CX3 file.
Step 3. Update IDView CMS to the latest version
If, however, after binding IDView CMS with CMS Recorded Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CX3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CX3 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CX3 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CX3 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 CX3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CX3 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CX3 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CX3 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CX3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CX3 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CX3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
