RHK Technology Proprietary appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open SM4 file?

The most common problem when using RHK Technology Proprietary is that a specific SM4 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SM4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SM4 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install XPMPro

The first step is to check if the computer has the XPMPro program installed. This can be achieved by typing XPMPro into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SM4 files.

Programs to open SM4 file

Remember to download programs supporting SM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XPMPro with SM4 files

If, despite the installed application, the SM4 file does not start in the XPMPro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SM4 file with the XPMPro program.

Step 3. Update XPMPro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XPMPro program with the RHK Technology Proprietary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RHK Technology, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SM4 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SM4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SM4 file. However, remember that not every infected SM4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SM4 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SM4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RHK Technology, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SM4 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SM4 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SM4 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
