What is IM7 file?
The file with the extension IM7 is the Graphic Files file type. It was designed by LaVision. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is DaVis. This was created by LaVision.
How to open IM7 file?
The most common problem when using DaVis Graphics is that a specific IM7 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IM7, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IM7 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 DaVis
In this case, you should first verify that the DaVis application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DaVis into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IM7 with DaVis. Below you will find a list of applications that support IM7 files.
Programs to open IM7 file
Remember to download programs supporting IM7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DaVis with IM7 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IM7 file still does not use the DaVis program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 DaVis application as the default for handling the IM7 file.
Step 3. Update DaVis to the latest version
If, however, after binding DaVis with DaVis Graphics there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LaVision website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IM7 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IM7 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IM7 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IM7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IM7 file. 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.
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 IM7 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use LaVision help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IM7 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IM7 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IM7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IM7 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IM7 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
