How to open EVR file?
The main problem with Enhanced Variable Rate Audio Format is that the EVR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open EVR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EVR 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 RealPlayer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RealPlayer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RealPlayer in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EVR files.
Programs to open EVR file
Remember to download programs supporting EVR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with EVR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EVR file still does not use the RealPlayer program, it means no 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EVR file with the RealPlayer program.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RealPlayer program with the Enhanced Variable Rate Audio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RealNetworks, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EVR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EVR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EVR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EVR file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EVR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Qualcomm help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EVR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the EVR 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EVR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EVR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
