How to open MREC file?

The most common problem when using MADRIX Record is that a specific MREC is not associated with the program. This causes the file MREC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MREC 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 MADRIX

In this case, you should first verify that the MADRIX application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MADRIX into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MREC with MADRIX. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MREC files.

Programs to open MREC file

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

Step 2. Create association of MADRIX with MREC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MREC file still does not use the MADRIX 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MREC file with the MADRIX program.

Step 3. Update MADRIX to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MADRIX program with the MADRIX Record file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the inoage GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MREC 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. Usually this applies to MREC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MREC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MREC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MREC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MREC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting inoage GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MREC 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.
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 MREC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MREC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MREC file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
