How to open EM4 file?

The main problem with AEM Stinger Engine Management Computer is that the EM4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EM4 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 EM4 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 EMS management software

The first step is to check if the computer has the EMS management software program installed. To do this, enter the name EMS management software 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 EM4 with EMS management software. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EM4 files.

Programs to open EM4 file

Remember to download programs supporting EM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of EMS management software with EM4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EM4 file still does not use the EMS management software program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EM4 file with the EMS management software program.

Step 3. Update EMS management software to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the EMS management software program, it is possible that AEM Stinger Engine Management Computer requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Automotive Engine Management website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EM4 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EM4 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EM4 file. However, remember that not every infected EM4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EM4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EM4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Automotive Engine Management
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EM4 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. 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 EM4 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EM4 to close. However, some background programs may block the EM4 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
