The LSM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LSM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LSM file on each system platform.
What is LSM file?
The file with the extension LSM is the Graphic Files file type. It was designed by Carl Zeiss AG. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Ziess LSM 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 LSM Image Browser to handle this file. This is a program created by Carl Zeiss AG.
How to open LSM file?
An often recurring problem with Ziess LSM Model is that LSM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LSM, 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 LSM 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 LSM Image Browser
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LSM Image Browser is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LSM Image Browser into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LSM with LSM Image Browser. Below you will find a list of applications that support LSM files.
Programs to open LSM file
Remember to download programs supporting LSM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LSM Image Browser with LSM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LSM file to open in the LSM Image Browser 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. 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 LSM file with the LSM Image Browser program.
Step 3. Update LSM Image Browser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LSM Image Browser program with the Ziess LSM 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 Carl Zeiss AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 LSM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LSM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LSM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LSM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LSM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Carl Zeiss AG help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LSM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LSM 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 you have to wait for the session to the file LSM to close. However, some background programs may block the LSM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
