The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YPR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected YPR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of YPR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YPR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move YPR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the YPR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
