This causes the file VKM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VKM 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.

Programs to open VKM file
Remember to download programs supporting VKM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VICE with VKM files
If, despite the installed application, the VKM file does not start in the VICE 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 VICE application as the default for handling the VKM file.
Step 3. Update VICE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VICE program, it is possible that VICE Keyboard Setting requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the VICE website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VKM 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VKM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VKM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VKM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VKM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VKM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact VICE
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VKM 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 VKM 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. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
