Step 2. Create association of Memory-Map Navigator with MMN files

The MMN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MMN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MMN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MMN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MMN 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MMN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Memory-Map, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MMN 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move MMN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MMN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MMN file again. However, some background programs may block the MMN file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
