The DR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DR file on each system platform.
What is DR file?
The file in the DR format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DRM Rights Object is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS. The main program that supports this format is Sony Ericsson DRM Packager. This was created by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB.
How to open DR file?
The most common problem when using DRM Rights Object is that a specific DR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DR 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 Sony Ericsson DRM Packager
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sony Ericsson DRM Packager is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sony Ericsson DRM Packager 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 DR files.
Programs to open DR file
Remember to download programs supporting DR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Ericsson DRM Packager with DR files
If, despite the installed application, the DR file does not start in the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DR file with the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager program.
Step 3. Update Sony Ericsson DRM Packager to the latest version
If, however, after binding Sony Ericsson DRM Packager with DRM Rights Object there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DR files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged DR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
