How to open IRD file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Money Temporary is that IRD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file IRD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IRD 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 Microsoft Money
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Money application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Money into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IRD with Microsoft Money. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IRD files.
Programs to open IRD file
Remember to download programs supporting IRD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Money with IRD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IRD file to open in the Microsoft Money application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Microsoft Money application as the default for handling the IRD file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Money to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Money program with the Microsoft Money Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IRD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The IRD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IRD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IRD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected IRD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IRD 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 IRD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IRD 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. If possible, you can try to move the IRD file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IRD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
