How to open MC6 file?
The main problem with Poser Material Collection Format is that the MC6 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MC6 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MC6 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 Micro Poser
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Micro Poser is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Micro Poser in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file MC6.
Programs to open MC6 file
Remember to download programs supporting MC6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with MC6 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MC6 file still does not use the Micro Poser program, it means no association. 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. 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 Micro Poser application as the default for handling the MC6 file.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Micro Poser program, it is possible that Poser Material Collection Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MC6 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MC6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MC6 file. Sometimes virus-infected MC6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MC6 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 MC6 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Smith Micro, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MC6 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move MC6 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MC6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MC6 to close. However, some background programs may block the MC6 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
