How to open RCY file?
An often recurring problem with ReCycle 1.x Document is that RCY is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RCY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RCY 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 ReCycle
In this case, you should first verify that the ReCycle application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ReCycle in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RCY files.
Programs to open RCY file
Remember to download programs supporting RCY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ReCycle with RCY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RCY file still does not use the ReCycle 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 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. 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 RCY file with the ReCycle program.
Step 3. Update ReCycle to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ReCycle program with the ReCycle 1.x Document 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 Propellerhead Software AB page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RCY 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 suggests truncating the RCY file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RCY or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RCY 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 RCY file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 RCY files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Propellerhead Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RCY 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. 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 RCY file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RCY 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 RCY file again. However, some background programs may block the RCY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
