How to open MATCH-RDB file?
The most common problem when using RDB is that a specific MATCH-RDB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MATCH-RDB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MATCH-RDB 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 Sequence Alignment and Modeling system
In this case, you should first verify that the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sequence Alignment and Modeling system in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MATCH-RDB files.
Programs to open MATCH-RDB file
Remember to download programs supporting MATCH-RDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sequence Alignment and Modeling system with MATCH-RDB files
If, despite the installed application, the MATCH-RDB file does not start in the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MATCH-RDB file with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application.
Step 3. Update Sequence Alignment and Modeling system to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program, it is possible that RDB requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MATCH-RDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MATCH-RDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MATCH-RDB 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MATCH-RDB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MATCH-RDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MATCH-RDB 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MATCH-RDB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MATCH-RDB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MATCH-RDB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MATCH-RDB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MATCH-RDB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
