How to open OKM file?
The main problem with OkMap Map Defining is that the OKM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OKM 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 OKM 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 OkMap
The first step is to check if the computer has the OkMap program installed. This can be achieved by typing OkMap 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 OKM files.
Programs to open OKM file
Remember to download programs supporting OKM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OkMap with OKM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OKM file still does not use the OkMap program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OKM file with the OkMap application.
Step 3. Update OkMap to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OkMap program, it is possible that OkMap Map Defining requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gian Paolo Saliola page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OKM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The OKM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OKM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OKM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected OKM 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 OKM file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OKM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Gian Paolo Saliola help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OKM 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. It is best to move OKM to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OKM to close. 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.
