What is KOM file?
The file with the extension KOM is the 3D Image Files file type. The creator of this file is KingMill Enterprises LLC. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Kit-O-Mat 3D Model appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Kit-O-Mat to handle this file. This is a program created by KingMill Enterprises LLC.
How to open KOM file?
The most common problem when using Kit-O-Mat 3D Model is that a specific KOM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open KOM, 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 KOM 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 Kit-O-Mat
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Kit-O-Mat is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Kit-O-Mat into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KOM with Kit-O-Mat. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KOM files.
Programs to open KOM file
Remember to download programs supporting KOM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kit-O-Mat with KOM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KOM file still does not use the Kit-O-Mat 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KOM file with the Kit-O-Mat program.
Step 3. Update Kit-O-Mat to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Kit-O-Mat program with the Kit-O-Mat 3D Model file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the KingMill Enterprises LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KOM 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 KOM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KOM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KOM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KOM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KOM files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KOM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting KingMill Enterprises LLC, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KOM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KOM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the KOM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
