What is CDRX file?

The CDRX file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Robert Bosch GmbH. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Crash Data Retrieval application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Robert Bosch GmbH.

How to open CDRX file?

The main problem with Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Data Format is that the CDRX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CDRX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDRX 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 Crash Data Retrieval

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Crash Data Retrieval is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Crash Data Retrieval into the 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 CDRX files.

Programs to open CDRX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Crash Data Retrieval with CDRX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CDRX file to open in the Crash Data Retrieval application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CDRX file with the Crash Data Retrieval program.

Step 3. Update Crash Data Retrieval to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Crash Data Retrieval program, it is possible that Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Robert Bosch GmbH website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CDRX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CDRX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CDRX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDRX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CDRX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CDRX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Robert Bosch GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CDRX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CDRX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CDRX to close. However, some background programs may block the CDRX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
