Programs to open LMS file
Remember to download programs supporting LMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Light-O-Rama ShowTime Software Suite with LMS files
If, despite the installed application, the LMS file does not start in the Light-O-Rama ShowTime Software Suite application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LMS file with the Light-O-Rama ShowTime Software Suite program.
Step 3. Update Light-O-Rama ShowTime Software Suite to the latest version
If, however, after binding Light-O-Rama ShowTime Software Suite with Light-O-Rama Musical Sequence 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 Light-O-Rama website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LMS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LMS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LMS file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LMS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Light-O-Rama, 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 LMS 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 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. Copying the LMS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LMS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
