How to open ICMS file?
The main problem with RagTime Extensions is that the ICMS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ICMS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ICMS 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 RagTime
The first step is to check if the computer has the RagTime program installed. This can be achieved by typing RagTime into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ICMS.
Programs to open ICMS file
Remember to download programs supporting ICMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RagTime with ICMS files
If, despite the installed application, the ICMS file does not start in the RagTime application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ICMS file with the RagTime application.
Step 3. Update RagTime to the latest version
If, however, after binding RagTime with RagTime Extensions there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RagTime GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICMS 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. Usually this applies to ICMS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ICMS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ICMS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ICMS 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ICMS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RagTime GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ICMS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ICMS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ICMS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
