How to open MLX file?
The main problem with Starcraft Saved Game is that the MLX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MLX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MLX 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 Starcraft

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MLX files.
Programs to open MLX file
Remember to download programs supporting MLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Starcraft with MLX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MLX file still does not use the Starcraft 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MLX file with the Starcraft program.
Step 3. Update Starcraft to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Starcraft program, it is possible that Starcraft Saved Game requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MLX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MLX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MLX file. Sometimes virus-infected MLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MLX 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MLX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MLX 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 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 MLX file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MLX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
