What is TMVT file?

The file in the TMVT format belongs to the Document Files category. It was designed by LexisNexis. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. TimeMap Template is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The TimeMap application is recommended to open the file. It was released by LexisNexis.

How to open TMVT file?

The main problem with TimeMap Template is that the TMVT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TMVT 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 TMVT 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 TimeMap

In this case, you should first verify that the TimeMap application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TimeMap in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TMVT files.

Programs to open TMVT file

Remember to download programs supporting TMVT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TimeMap with TMVT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TMVT file to open in the TimeMap application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TMVT file with the TimeMap application.

Step 3. Update TimeMap to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TimeMap program, it is possible that TimeMap Template requires a newer version of the program.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 LexisNexis page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMVT 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 TMVT 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TMVT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TMVT 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 TMVT file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TMVT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting LexisNexis, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TMVT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TMVT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 TMVT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
