Step 2. Create association of Advanced Registry Tracer with RGF files

This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RGF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RGF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 RGF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RGF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RGF files changes over time. 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 RGF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ElcomSoft Co. Ltd., 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 RGF 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 RGF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RGF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RGF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RGF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
