Step 2. Create association of OpenMPT with MPTM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MPTM file to open in the OpenMPT 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MPTM file with the OpenMPT application.

Step 3. Update OpenMPT to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the OpenMPT program, it is possible that OpenMPT Module Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ModPlug Central website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPTM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MPTM 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 MPTM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MPTM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MPTM 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MPTM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MPTM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MPTM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MPTM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
