Step 2. Create association of Nokia PC Suite with VMG files
If, despite the installed application, the VMG file does not start in the Nokia PC Suite application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VMG file with the Nokia PC Suite program.
Step 3. Update Nokia PC Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nokia PC Suite program, it is possible that Nokia Text Message requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VMG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VMG file. Sometimes virus-infected VMG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VMG 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.
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 VMG files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VMG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VMG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VMG file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
