How to open KMA file?
The most common problem when using Correlate Archive Knowledge Map is that a specific KMA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open KMA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KMA 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 Correlate
In this case, you should first verify that the Correlate application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Correlate into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KMA files.
Programs to open KMA file
Remember to download programs supporting KMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Correlate with KMA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KMA file to open in the Correlate 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Correlate application as the default for handling the KMA file.
Step 3. Update Correlate to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Correlate program, it is possible that Correlate Archive Knowledge Map requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Correlate website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KMA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KMA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KMA file. Sometimes virus-infected KMA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KMA files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged KMA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Correlate help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KMA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the KMA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KMA file again. 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.
