What is LRL file?
The file in the LRL format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by SmartWare Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. SmartWare Local Resource Library is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is SmartWare. This was created by SmartWare Corporation.
How to open LRL file?
The main problem with SmartWare Local Resource Library is that the LRL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LRL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LRL 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 SmartWare
In this case, you should first verify that the SmartWare application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SmartWare 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 LRL files.
Programs to open LRL file
Remember to download programs supporting LRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with LRL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LRL file still does not use the SmartWare program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 SmartWare application as the default for handling the LRL file.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SmartWare program, it is possible that SmartWare Local Resource Library requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SmartWare Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LRL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LRL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LRL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LRL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LRL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LRL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SmartWare Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LRL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LRL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LRL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LRL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
