How to open TMG file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMG 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 Master Genealogist

Programs to open TMG file
Remember to download programs supporting TMG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Master Genealogist with TMG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TMG file still does not use the Master Genealogist 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 select the desired program. 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 Master Genealogist application as the default for handling the TMG file.
Step 3. Update Master Genealogist to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Master Genealogist program, it is possible that The Marketing Game! Game Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Wholly Genes, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TMG 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TMG file. Sometimes virus-infected TMG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TMG 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TMG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 TMG 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TMG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TMG to close. However, some background programs may block the TMG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
