The DIST-RDB file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DIST-RDB files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DIST-RDB file on each system platform.
What is DIST-RDB file?
The file with the extension DIST-RDB is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. SAM Scoring is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Sequence Alignment and Modeling. This was created by Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh.
How to open DIST-RDB file?
The most common problem when using SAM Scoring is that a specific DIST-RDB is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DIST-RDB, 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 DIST-RDB 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 Sequence Alignment and Modeling
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sequence Alignment and Modeling program installed. This can be achieved by typing Sequence Alignment and Modeling into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DIST-RDB.
Programs to open DIST-RDB file
Remember to download programs supporting DIST-RDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sequence Alignment and Modeling with DIST-RDB files
If, despite the installed application, the DIST-RDB file does not start in the Sequence Alignment and Modeling application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sequence Alignment and Modeling application as the default for handling the DIST-RDB file.
Step 3. Update Sequence Alignment and Modeling to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling program, it is possible that SAM Scoring requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DIST-RDB 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DIST-RDB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DIST-RDB file. However, remember that not every infected DIST-RDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DIST-RDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DIST-RDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh, 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 DIST-RDB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DIST-RDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DIST-RDB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
