Tips to open RL file
Can't open the RL file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open RL files as well as a list of programs that support RL files.

The RL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RL file on each system platform.
What is RL file?
The RL file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by R.LAB. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. R.viewer List Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.
How to open RL file?
An often recurring problem with R.viewer List Format is that RL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RL 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 R.viewer
The first step is to check if the computer has the R.viewer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name R.viewer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RL.
Programs to open RL file
Remember to download programs supporting RL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of R.viewer with RL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RL file to open in the R.viewer application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 RL file with the R.viewer application.
Step 3. Update R.viewer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the R.viewer program, it is possible that R.viewer List Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RL files changes over time. 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 RL file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RL 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RL to a different directory.
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 RL to close. However, some background programs may block the RL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
