Understanding AKM Issues


Typical AKM Opening Challenges

Aksharamala Isn't There

You attempt to load your AKM file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The AKM File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Aksharamala for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the AKM file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: Another AKM-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Aksharamala

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Aksharamala installed that's incompatible with your Aksharamala Keymap Binary Data type. You will need to download a newer version of Aksharamala if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Aksharamala Keymap Binary Data file was created by a newer Aksharamala than what you have installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your AKM file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of AKM file opening issues are due to not having the correct Aksharamala version installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading AKM Files

You can still experience errors opening AKM files even with the latest version of Aksharamala installed on your PC. Other AKM opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • AKM file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry AKM description
  • Invalid installation of a AKM-associated program (eg. Aksharamala)
  • Your AKM can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your AKM
  • Drivers associated with AKM software need to be updated
  • Windows cannot load your Aksharamala Keymap Binary Data file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
