What is a CMF file?
File with a .CMF extension contains source code of the ColdFusion programming language or the markers language – ColdFusion Markup Language, which creates a web site generated dynamically by the server if it is being referred to by a user. ColdFusion was developed by Allaire, than the patent was bought by the Macromedia company, and after its takeover in the year 2005, the standard is being maintained by Adobe Systems.
Web sites stored with CMF have a lot of possibilities. They can initialise applications and scripts in other languages, they may be comprised of references and utilise databases or generate rapports and Flash forms in real-time.

How to open CMF files
If you cannot open the CMF file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports CMF among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the CMF file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the CMF format files
The inability to open and operate the CMF file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Creative Labs FM-synthesis Music Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a CMF file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the CMF file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the CMF from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the CMF format
- The CMF file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the CMF file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a CMF file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the CMF file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the CMF file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the CMF file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.CMF) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected CMF file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the CMF file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. CMF) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
