How to open XMEF file?
The most common problem when using TextMap Evidence Format is that a specific XMEF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XMEF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMEF 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 TextMap
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TextMap is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TextMap into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XMEF files.
Programs to open XMEF file
Remember to download programs supporting XMEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextMap with XMEF files
If, despite the installed application, the XMEF file does not start in the TextMap application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XMEF file with the TextMap program.
Step 3. Update TextMap to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TextMap program, it is possible that TextMap Evidence Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the LexisNexis website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMEF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XMEF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XMEF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XMEF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XMEF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XMEF files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XMEF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LexisNexis
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMEF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the XMEF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMEF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMEF file again. However, some background programs may block the XMEF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
