Step 2. Create association of Micrografx Media Manager with EMD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EMD file still does not use the Micrografx Media Manager 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Micrografx Media Manager application as the default for handling the EMD file.

In this case, use the Micrografx, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMD 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 EMD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EMD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EMD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EMD 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 option of recovering data from damaged EMD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EMD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EMD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EMD 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 EMD file again. However, some background programs may block the EMD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
