How to open ERSX file?

An often recurring problem with Eraser Task List Format is that ERSX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ERSX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ERSX 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 Eraser

In this case, you should first verify that the Eraser application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Eraser in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ERSX files.

Programs to open ERSX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Eraser with ERSX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ERSX file still does not use the Eraser program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Eraser application as the default for handling the ERSX file.

Step 3. Update Eraser to the latest version

If, however, after binding Eraser with Eraser Task List Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The Eraser Project website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ERSX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ERSX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ERSX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ERSX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ERSX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ERSX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eraser
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ERSX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ERSX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ERSX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
