MAXM file extension
The MAXM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MAXM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MAXM file on each system platform.
What is MAXM file?
The MAXM file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Paperport is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is PaperPort. This was created by Nuance Communications, Inc..
How to open MAXM file?
The most common problem when using Paperport is that a specific MAXM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MAXM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MAXM 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 PaperPort
In this case, you should first verify that the PaperPort application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PaperPort in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MAXM files.
Programs to open MAXM file
Remember to download programs supporting MAXM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PaperPort with MAXM files
If, despite the installed application, the MAXM file does not start in the PaperPort application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PaperPort application as the default for handling the MAXM file.
Step 3. Update PaperPort to the latest version
If, however, after binding PaperPort with Paperport there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Nuance Communications, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAXM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 MAXM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MAXM file. However, remember that not every infected MAXM 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 MAXM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MAXM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MAXM 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. It is best to move MAXM to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MAXM file again. 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.
