How to open XMU file?
The most common problem when using XWE Data Format is that a specific XMU is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XMU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMU 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 XWE
The first step is to check if the computer has the XWE program installed. To do this, enter the name XWE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XMU with XWE. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XMU files.
Programs to open XMU file
Remember to download programs supporting XMU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XWE with XMU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XMU file to open in the XWE 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XMU file with the XWE application.
Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XWE program with the XWE Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMU 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. Usually this applies to XMU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XMU file. Sometimes virus-infected XMU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMU file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XMU file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XMU file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMU file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
