Programs to open QM3 file
Remember to download programs supporting QM3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Articulate Quizmaker with QM3 files
If, despite the installed application, the QM3 file does not start in the Articulate Quizmaker 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Articulate Quizmaker application as the default for handling the QM3 file.
Step 3. Update Articulate Quizmaker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Articulate Quizmaker with Articulate Quizmaker Compressed 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 Articulate Global, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QM3 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to QM3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 QM3 file. However, remember that not every infected QM3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QM3 files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QM3 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Articulate Global, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QM3 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the QM3 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the QM3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QM3 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
