170865 2003-08-27 04:03:00 I down loaded a DMF file for a trial program I was interested in, but my computer does not recognize DMF and asks how to open it. What do I do when this happens for this or any other file that I down load and the computer does not recognise. I am new to all this can any one help?

Ps The guy at Microsoft via the 0800 number said I needed a DMF viewer but I could not see any on the net, but then I do not know what it is I'm really looking for.

Have a look here for some DMF definition which might help: filext.com

It might be a flash file for a 3Com/USR modem, but that's a bit unlikely. :D

It could be a Data Migration File, but that's no use unless you have hardware and software which uses it.

It seems that some Adobe software produces DMF files as an intermediate step in using Microsoft Word to publish PDF files.

Anyone offering trial software who gives out documents (?) in a format which isn't "standard" is not likely to get many buyers. :D
