The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M14 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open M14 files.
Programs to open M14 file
Remember to download programs supporting M14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with M14 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the M14 file to open in the Microsoft Windows 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the M14 file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Media Viewer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M14 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the M14 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our M14 file. However, remember that not every infected M14 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 M14 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M14 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 M14 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the M14 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the M14 file again. However, some background programs may block the M14 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
