Troubleshoot FMV Files


Troubles Opening FMV Files

FME Desktop Removed

If you attempt to load your FMV file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open FMV Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because FME Desktop isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the FMV file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When another FMV application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Incorrect FME Desktop Version

Sometimes your installed version of FME Desktop won't support your FME Desktop Viewspace File file. Installing the latest version of FME Desktop from Safe Software is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a FME Desktop Viewspace File file version that was created by a newer version of FME Desktop than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your FMV, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Conclusion: The majority of FMV file opening issues are due to not having the correct FME Desktop version installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading FMV Files

Even with the correct version of FME Desktop installed, you can still experience difficulties opening FMVs. If you're still experiencing problems opening FMV files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

  • FMV file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the FMV file in the Windows registry
  • Defective install of a FMV program, such as FME Desktop
  • Your FMV can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your FMV is infected with malware
  • Hardware associated with FMV has outdated drivers
  • Windows cannot load your FME Desktop Viewspace File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
