How to open MF2 file?
The most common problem when using Authorware Mediator5 Multimedia is that a specific MF2 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MF2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MF2 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 Adobe Authorware
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Authorware is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Authorware into the operating 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 MF2 files.
Programs to open MF2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MF2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with MF2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MF2 file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MF2 file with the Adobe Authorware program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Authorware to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Authorware program, it is possible that Authorware Mediator5 Multimedia requires a newer version of the program.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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MF2 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MF2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MF2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MF2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MF2 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 MF2 file. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MF2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, 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 file MF2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MF2 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MF2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
