How to open GM4 file?
An often recurring problem with Autologic Bitmap Image is that GM4 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GM4 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 GM4 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 XnView
The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView program installed. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. 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 GM4.
Programs to open GM4 file
Remember to download programs supporting GM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with GM4 files
If, despite the installed application, the GM4 file does not start in the XnView application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GM4 file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Autologic Bitmap Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GM4 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 GM4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GM4 file. Sometimes virus-infected GM4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GM4 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GM4 file corruption. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GM4 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GM4 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GM4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
