It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M2R 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:
The M2R file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the M2R file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 M2R or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover M2R files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of M2R file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the M2R file to another location will fix the problem.
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. However, some background programs may block the M2R file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
