How to open RL7 file?
The most common problem when using PcAnywhere Remote Session Log Format is that a specific RL7 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RL7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RL7 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 pcAnywhere
The first step is to check if the computer has the pcAnywhere program installed. This can be achieved by typing pcAnywhere into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RL7 with pcAnywhere. Below is a list of programs that support the file RL7.
Programs to open RL7 file
Remember to download programs supporting RL7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of pcAnywhere with RL7 files
If, despite the installed application, the RL7 file does not start in the pcAnywhere application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RL7 file with the pcAnywhere program.
Step 3. Update pcAnywhere to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the pcAnywhere program, it is possible that PcAnywhere Remote Session Log Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RL7 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RL7 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RL7 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RL7 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RL7 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RL7 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RL7 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RL7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RL7 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 RL7 to close. However, some background programs may block the RL7 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
