File extension .VMG

File description

VMG file format is used by Nokia mobile devices. This file format is used to store text messages that are typed using Nokia mobile devices.

VMG is a plain text file that is used to store the original text message along with other details associated with the file including date, sender detail and time. This information is stored in the form of header of the file with the original text written in plain text and null character separated format. Formatting the file in this format makes it easy for operating system to analyze and process the file. Each text message is stored in separate VMG file.

Remember that you need to download a program to support a particular file type. So first look through the entire contents of the website to select a program to support just the file you have.

Other possible reasons why your .VMG file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .VMG file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .VMG file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .VMG file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .VMG file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

  • Right-click the .VMG file
  • Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
  • Locate the appropriate application
  • Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
