What is XMC file?
The file in the XMC format belongs to the Settings Files category. The author of this format is Lingoes Project. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Lingoes Configuration is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Lingoes to handle this file. This is a program created by Lingoes Project.
How to open XMC file?
The most common problem when using Lingoes Configuration is that a specific XMC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XMC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMC 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 Lingoes
In this case, you should first verify that the Lingoes application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Lingoes into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XMC files.
Programs to open XMC file
Remember to download programs supporting XMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lingoes with XMC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XMC file to open in the Lingoes application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Lingoes application as the default for handling the XMC file.
Step 3. Update Lingoes to the latest version
If, however, after binding Lingoes with Lingoes Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Lingoes Project website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XMC 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XMC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Lingoes Project, 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 XMC 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. If possible, you can try to move the XMC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
