How to open MRXS file?
The most common problem when using MIRAX Virtual Slide Format is that a specific MRXS is not associated with the program. This causes the file MRXS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MRXS 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 OpenSlide
The first step is to check if the computer has the OpenSlide program installed. To do this, enter the name OpenSlide 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 MRXS with OpenSlide. Below you will find a list of applications that support MRXS files.
Programs to open MRXS file
Remember to download programs supporting MRXS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenSlide with MRXS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MRXS file still does not use the OpenSlide program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 MRXS file with the OpenSlide program.
Step 3. Update OpenSlide to the latest version
If, however, after binding OpenSlide with MIRAX Virtual Slide Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MRXS 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MRXS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MRXS file. Sometimes virus-infected MRXS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MRXS 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MRXS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MRXS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MRXS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MRXS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MRXS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
