How to open LFM file?
The main problem with LifeForm Format is that the LFM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LFM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LFM 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 Life Forms Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Life Forms Studio program installed. This can be achieved by typing Life Forms Studio into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LFM files.
Programs to open LFM file
Remember to download programs supporting LFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Life Forms Studio with LFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LFM file still does not use the Life Forms Studio 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Life Forms Studio application as the default for handling the LFM file.
Step 3. Update Life Forms Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Life Forms Studio with LifeForm Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Credo Interactive Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LFM 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 LFM 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LFM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LFM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LFM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LFM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Credo Interactive Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LFM 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 LFM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 LFM to close. However, some background programs may block the LFM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
