Understanding CMO Issues


Issues Opening CMO Files

Microsoft Windows Not Present

When trying to open your CMO file, you get the error "Can't Open CMO File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your CMO file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your CMO file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Incorrect Microsoft Windows Version

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your ASUS BIOS File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your ASUS BIOS File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of CMO file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening CMO files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed.


Other CMO File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Windows will resolve your issue. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening CMOs. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for CMO are wrong
  • Deletion of the CMO file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Invalid installation of a CMO-associated program (eg. Microsoft Windows)
  • Something has caused file corruption of your CMO
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your CMO
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your CMO file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open ASUS BIOS File files
