How to open MMX file?
The main problem with Command And Conquer Game is that the MMX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MMX 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 MMX 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 Command and Conquer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Command and Conquer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Command and Conquer into the operating system search engine. 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 MMX files.
Programs to open MMX file
Remember to download programs supporting MMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Command and Conquer with MMX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MMX file still does not use the Command and Conquer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MMX file with the Command and Conquer program.
Step 3. Update Command and Conquer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Command and Conquer program with the Command And Conquer Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Westwood Studios (EA) website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MMX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MMX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MMX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MMX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MMX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MMX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Westwood Studios (EA)
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MMX 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. Copying the MMX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MMX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
