How to open FMF file?
An often recurring problem with FaxMan Jr Fax is that FMF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FMF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMF 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 FaxMan Jr

Programs to open FMF file
Remember to download programs supporting FMF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FaxMan Jr with FMF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FMF file to open in the FaxMan Jr application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FaxMan Jr application as the default for handling the FMF file.
Step 3. Update FaxMan Jr to the latest version
If, however, after binding FaxMan Jr with FaxMan Jr Fax there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Data Techniques, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FMF 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FMF file. However, remember that not every infected FMF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMF file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Data Techniques, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FMF 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FMF file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FMF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FMF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
