What is PTM file?
The PTM file has been categorized as Audio Files. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files. PolyTracker Module appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. This file type can also be opened by 3 other programs. The Winamp, Impulse Tracker, DigiTrakker programs will also handle the file when the CocoModX program does not fulfill its role.
How to open PTM file?
The most common problem when using PolyTracker Module is that a specific PTM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PTM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PTM 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 CocoModX
The first step is to check if the computer has the CocoModX program installed. To do this, enter the name CocoModX into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PTM files.
Programs to open PTM file
Remember to download programs supporting PTM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CocoModX with PTM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PTM file still does not use the CocoModX 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CocoModX application as the default for handling the PTM file.
Step 3. Update CocoModX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CocoModX program, it is possible that PolyTracker Module requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PTM 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 PTM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PTM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PTM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PTM 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 PTM file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PTM files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PTM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PTM 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
