How to open ML3 file?
An often recurring problem with Milestones Project is that ML3 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ML3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ML3 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 Milestones Professional
In this case, you should first verify that the Milestones Professional application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Milestones Professional into the operating system search engine. 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 ML3 files.
Programs to open ML3 file
Remember to download programs supporting ML3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Milestones Professional with ML3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ML3 file still does not use the Milestones Professional 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 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ML3 file with the Milestones Professional program.
Step 3. Update Milestones Professional to the latest version
If, however, after binding Milestones Professional with Milestones Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the KIDASA Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ML3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ML3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ML3 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ML3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ML3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ML3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ML3 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact KIDASA Software, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ML3 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ML3 to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ML3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
