How to open RF3 file?

The most common problem when using SmartWare Runtime Project is that a specific RF3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file RF3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RF3 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 SmartWare

Programs to open RF3 file

Remember to download programs supporting RF3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with RF3 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RF3 file to open in the SmartWare 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RF3 file with the SmartWare application.

Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SmartWare program with the SmartWare Runtime Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SmartWare Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RF3 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The RF3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RF3 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RF3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RF3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RF3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RF3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SmartWare Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RF3 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 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 RF3 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 RF3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RF3 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
