How to open DIMAX file?
An often recurring problem with DiMAX Firmware Image Format is that DIMAX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DIMAX 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 DIMAX 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 DiMAX Updatetool
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DiMAX Updatetool is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DiMAX Updatetool into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DIMAX.
Programs to open DIMAX file
Remember to download programs supporting DIMAX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DiMAX Updatetool with DIMAX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DIMAX file still does not use the DiMAX Updatetool program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DIMAX file with the DiMAX Updatetool program.
Step 3. Update DiMAX Updatetool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DiMAX Updatetool program with the DiMAX Firmware Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Massoth Elektronik GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DIMAX 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:
The DIMAX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DIMAX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DIMAX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DIMAX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DIMAX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 DIMAX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Massoth Electronics
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DIMAX 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.
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 DIMAX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
