The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The RGBE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RGBE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RGBE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RGBE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RGBE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RGBE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RGBE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RGBE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RGBE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RGBE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
