The GMRES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GMRES file contents when downloading or copying. 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 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GMRES or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GMRES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GMRES file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GMRES files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GMRES 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 GMRES file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GMRES file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GMRES to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GMRES file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
