What is MKR file?
The file in the MKR format belongs to the Game Files category. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. In addition to this file, the Game Files category includes 1509 related files. Train Simulator Marker is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Train Simulator to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open MKR file?
The most common problem when using Train Simulator Marker is that a specific MKR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MKR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKR 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 Train Simulator
In this case, you should first verify that the Train Simulator application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Train Simulator into the operating system search engine. 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 MKR files.
Programs to open MKR file
Remember to download programs supporting MKR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Train Simulator with MKR files
If, despite the installed application, the MKR file does not start in the Train Simulator application, you must create a file 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Train Simulator application as the default for handling the MKR file.
Step 3. Update Train Simulator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Train Simulator program, it is possible that Train Simulator Marker requires a newer version of the program. 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 MKR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MKR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MKR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MKR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MKR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MKR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MKR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MKR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MKR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MKR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
