How to open RCO file?
The most common problem when using PlayStation Portable Resource Format is that a specific RCO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RCO, 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 RCO 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 RCO Editor
In this case, you should first verify that the RCO Editor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RCO Editor into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file RCO.
Programs to open RCO file
Remember to download programs supporting RCO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RCO Editor with RCO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RCO file to open in the RCO Editor application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 RCO file with the RCO Editor application.
Step 3. Update RCO Editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RCO Editor program, it is possible that PlayStation Portable Resource Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RCO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RCO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RCO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RCO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RCO files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RCO file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RCO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RCO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RCO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RCO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RCO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
