How to open MSIM file?
The main problem with MSecure Password Manager Backup Format is that the MSIM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MSIM 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 MSIM 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 mSecure Password Manager
In this case, you should first verify that the mSecure Password Manager application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing mSecure Password Manager into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open MSIM file
Remember to download programs supporting MSIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of mSecure Password Manager with MSIM files
If, despite the installed application, the MSIM file does not start in the mSecure Password Manager application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 MSIM file with the mSecure Password Manager program.
Step 3. Update mSecure Password Manager to the latest version
If, however, after binding mSecure Password Manager with MSecure Password Manager Backup Format 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 mSeven website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSIM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MSIM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MSIM file. Sometimes virus-infected MSIM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MSIM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 MSIM files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MSIM 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. If possible, you can try to move the MSIM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MSIM file again. However, some background programs may block the MSIM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
