The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OCM 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 Netscape Navigator

Programs to open OCM file
Remember to download programs supporting OCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Netscape Navigator with OCM files
If, despite the installed application, the OCM file does not start in the Netscape Navigator application, you must create a file 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 OCM file with the Netscape Navigator program.
Step 3. Update Netscape Navigator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Netscape Navigator program with the Netscape Communicator Aim file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the AOL Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The OCM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OCM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OCM file. However, remember that not every infected OCM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OCM 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OCM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AOL Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OCM 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the OCM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OCM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OCM 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.
