How to open RGMC file?
An often recurring problem with RootsMagic Genealogy Project Format is that RGMC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RGMC 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 RGMC 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 RootsMagic
The first step is to check if the computer has the RootsMagic program installed. This can be achieved by typing RootsMagic 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 RGMC files.
Programs to open RGMC file
Remember to download programs supporting RGMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RootsMagic with RGMC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RGMC file still does not use the RootsMagic program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RootsMagic application as the default for handling the RGMC file.
Step 3. Update RootsMagic to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RootsMagic program, it is possible that RootsMagic Genealogy Project Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RootsMagic, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGMC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RGMC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RGMC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RGMC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RGMC file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RGMC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RootsMagic help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RGMC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RGMC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RGMC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RGMC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
