How to open IMS file?
The main problem with IconForge Create Executable Library Data is that the IMS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IMS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMS 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 IconForge
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IconForge is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name IconForge 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 IMS.
Programs to open IMS file
Remember to download programs supporting IMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IconForge with IMS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IMS file still does not use the IconForge program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IconForge application as the default for handling the IMS file.
Step 3. Update IconForge to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IconForge program, it is possible that IconForge Create Executable Library Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CursorArts Company website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IMS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 IMS file. However, remember that not every infected IMS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IMS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IMS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CursorArts Company
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IMS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IMS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IMS to close. However, some background programs may block the IMS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
