How to open OTR file?
The main problem with IRIX Complied FTR is that the OTR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open OTR, 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 OTR 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 IRIX
The first step is to check if the computer has the IRIX program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IRIX in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file OTR.
Programs to open OTR file
Remember to download programs supporting OTR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IRIX with OTR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OTR file to open in the IRIX application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OTR file with the IRIX application.
Step 3. Update IRIX to the latest version
If, however, after binding IRIX with IRIX Complied FTR there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Silicon Graphics, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OTR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OTR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OTR file. However, remember that not every infected OTR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OTR 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OTR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Silicon Graphics, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file OTR 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. It is best to move OTR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OTR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OTR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
