Programs to open LRM file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Encarta with LRM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LRM file still does not use the Microsoft Encarta program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 LRM file with the Microsoft Encarta program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Encarta to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Encarta with Microsoft Encarta Class Server Learning Resource there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LRM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LRM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LRM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LRM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LRM 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 LRM 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. It is best to move LRM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LRM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LRM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
