An often recurring problem with Microsoft Media Viewer is that M13 is not associated with the correct program file.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M13 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 Microsoft Windows

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with M13 files
If, despite the installed application, the M13 file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the M13 file with the Microsoft Windows application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows program, it is possible that Microsoft Media Viewer requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M13 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The M13 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the M13 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the M13 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected M13 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of M13 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M13 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file M13 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the M13 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the M13 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
