How to open RDD file?
An often recurring problem with ALTA is that RDD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RDD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDD 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 ALTA
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ALTA is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ALTA into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RDD files.
Programs to open RDD file
Remember to download programs supporting RDD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ALTA with RDD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RDD file to open in the ALTA application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 RDD file with the ALTA application.
Step 3. Update ALTA to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ALTA program with the ALTA file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ReliaSoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDD 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RDD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RDD file. However, remember that not every infected RDD 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 RDD 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RDD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ReliaSoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RDD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the RDD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RDD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
