BMM Troubleshooting
Troubles Opening BMM Files
Pixia Isn't There
When trying to open your BMM file, you get the error "Can't Open BMM File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Pixia missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the BMM file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When another BMM application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Obsolete Version of Pixia
Sometimes your installed version of Pixia won't support your Tacmi Pixia Palette file. If you do not have the proper version Pixia (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the BMM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the BMM file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Pixia installed.
Additional BMM Opening Issues
Even with the correct version of Pixia installed, you can still experience difficulties opening BMMs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading BMM files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:
- File references in the Windows Registry for BMM are wrong
- Unintentional removal of the description of the BMM file inside the Windows Registry
- Defective install of a BMM program, such as Pixia
- The BMM itself is corrupted
- Your BMM is infected with malware
- Hardware associated with BMM has outdated drivers
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Tacmi Pixia Palette format
