How to open FMK file?
The most common problem when using FaxMaker is that a specific FMK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FMK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMK 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 FaxMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FaxMaker is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FaxMaker in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FMK.
Programs to open FMK file
Remember to download programs supporting FMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FaxMaker with FMK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMK file still does not use the FaxMaker 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FMK file with the FaxMaker application.
Step 3. Update FaxMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FaxMaker program, it is possible that FaxMaker requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GFI Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMK 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FMK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 FMK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FMK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FMK 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FMK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use GFI Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FMK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FMK file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
