How to open IIM file?
The main problem with IMacro Macro Format is that the IIM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IIM 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 IIM 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 Mozilla Firefox
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mozilla Firefox is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mozilla Firefox in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IIM files.
Programs to open IIM file
Remember to download programs supporting IIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mozilla Firefox with IIM files
If, despite the installed application, the IIM file does not start in the Mozilla Firefox application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Mozilla Firefox application as the default for handling the IIM file.
Step 3. Update Mozilla Firefox to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mozilla Firefox program, it is possible that IMacro Macro Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Mozilla website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IIM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IIM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IIM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IIM file. However, remember that not every infected IIM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IIM 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IIM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting iOpus, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IIM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IIM 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. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
