How to open QME file?
An often recurring problem with Quicken Win Version 3 is that QME is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that QME files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QME 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 Quicken
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Quicken is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Quicken into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support QME files.
Programs to open QME file
Remember to download programs supporting QME files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quicken with QME files
If, despite the installed application, the QME file does not start in the Quicken application, you must create a file 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. 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 QME file with the Quicken program.
Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Quicken program with the Quicken Win Version 3 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 Intuit Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QME file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to QME files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 QME file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QME files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of QME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 QME files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QME 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the QME file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QME file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
