How to open IRX file?

The main problem with Brewer Irradiation Format is that the IRX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IRX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IRX 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 UVBrewer

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that UVBrewer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name UVBrewer 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 IRX files.

Programs to open IRX file

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

Step 2. Create association of UVBrewer with IRX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IRX file still does not use the UVBrewer 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IRX file with the UVBrewer program.

Step 3. Update UVBrewer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the UVBrewer program with the Brewer Irradiation Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The IRX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IRX 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IRX file. Sometimes virus-infected IRX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IRX file. 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 ability to automatically repair IRX file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IRX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IRX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IRX to close. However, some background programs may block the IRX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
