How to open FRD file?
The main problem with Need For Speed Track Data is that the FRD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FRD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRD 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 Need for Speed Undercover
The first step is to check if the computer has the Need for Speed Undercover program installed. This can be achieved by typing Need for Speed Undercover 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 FRD.
Programs to open FRD file
Remember to download programs supporting FRD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Need for Speed Undercover with FRD files
If, despite the installed application, the FRD file does not start in the Need for Speed Undercover 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. 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 Need for Speed Undercover application as the default for handling the FRD file.
Step 3. Update Need for Speed Undercover to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Need for Speed Undercover program with the Need For Speed Track Data 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 Electronic Arts, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FRD file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FRD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FRD 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 FRD 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FRD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FRD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FRD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FRD file again. However, some background programs may block the FRD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
