MUR file extension
The MUR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MUR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MUR file on each system platform.
What is MUR file?
The MUR file has been categorized as Disk Image Files. In addition to this file, the Disk Image Files category includes 203 related files. Atari Disk Image Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is TOS. This was created by Atari, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. Atari ST will apply when it is not possible to use TOS.
How to open MUR file?
The most common problem when using Atari Disk Image Format is that a specific MUR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MUR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MUR 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 TOS
The first step is to check if the computer has the TOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TOS in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MUR with TOS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MUR files.
Programs to open MUR file
Remember to download programs supporting MUR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TOS with MUR files
If, despite the installed application, the MUR file does not start in the TOS 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 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 MUR file with the TOS application.
Step 3. Update TOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TOS program, it is possible that Atari Disk Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Atari, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUR 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 MUR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MUR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MUR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MUR file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MUR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MUR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MUR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MUR to close. However, some background programs may block the MUR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
