Programs to open MGM file
Remember to download programs supporting MGM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Equation Illustrator with MGM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MGM file to open in the Equation Illustrator application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 Equation Illustrator application as the default for handling the MGM file.
Step 3. Update Equation Illustrator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Equation Illustrator with MGCSoft Equation Editor Macro Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MGCSoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGM 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 suggests truncating the MGM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MGM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MGM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MGM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ability to automatically repair MGM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MGCSoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MGM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MGM 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.
