How to open M12 file?

The most common problem when using Akregator Format is that a specific M12 is not associated with the program. This causes the file M12 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M12 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 DARWIN

The first step is to check if the computer has the DARWIN program installed. To do this, enter the name DARWIN 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 M12 with DARWIN. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open M12 files.

Step 2. Create association of DARWIN with M12 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the M12 file to open in the DARWIN 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the M12 file with the DARWIN application.

Step 3. Update DARWIN to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DARWIN program, it is possible that Akregator Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M12 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The M12 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the M12 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file M12 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected M12 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of M12 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 M12 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file M12 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the M12 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file M12 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
