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 RM1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RM1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RM1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RM1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RM1 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RM1 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RM1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RM1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RM1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RM1 file again. However, some background programs may block the RM1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
