NMM File Complications
Issues Opening NMM Files
3D Movie Maker Removed
When trying to open your NMM file, you get the error "Can't Open NMM File Type". Customarily, this means that 3D Movie Maker is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your NMM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
3D Movie Maker is Out-of-Date
Your Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Recorded Video file is incompatible with 3D Movie Maker because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of 3D Movie Maker. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Recorded Video file version that was created by a newer version of 3D Movie Maker than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of NMM 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 NMM files are due to having the wrong version of 3D Movie Maker installed.
Additional NMM Opening Issues
Although you might already have 3D Movie Maker or another NMM-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Recorded Video files.

- NMM file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry NMM description
- Invalid installation of a NMM-associated program (eg. 3D Movie Maker)
- Your NMM file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Recorded Video file itself)
- Your NMM has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers for NMM-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Recorded Video format
