How to open JKM file?
The most common problem when using JAWS Key Map Format is that a specific JKM is not associated with the program. This causes the file JKM 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 JKM 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 JAWS
The first step is to check if the computer has the JAWS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JAWS in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JKM with JAWS. Below is a list of programs that support the file JKM.
Programs to open JKM file
Remember to download programs supporting JKM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JKM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JKM file to open in the JAWS application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JKM file with the JAWS program.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, however, after binding JAWS with JAWS Key Map Format 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 Freedom Scientific, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JKM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The JKM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JKM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JKM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JKM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JKM 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JKM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Freedom Scientific help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file JKM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the JKM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the JKM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the JKM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
