How to open IM24 file?
The most common problem when using Bitmap Graphic is that a specific IM24 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IM24 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IM24 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IM24 files.
Programs to open IM24 file
Remember to download programs supporting IM24 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with IM24 files
If, despite the installed application, the IM24 file does not start in the XnView 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView application as the default for handling the IM24 file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Bitmap Graphic requires a newer version of the program.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 Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IM24 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IM24 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IM24 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IM24 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IM24 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IM24 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IM24 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move IM24 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IM24 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IM24 to close. However, some background programs may block the IM24 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
