The RESMONCFG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RESMONCFG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RESMONCFG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RESMONCFG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RESMONCFG 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RESMONCFG files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RESMONCFG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RESMONCFG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RESMONCFG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RESMONCFG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
