An often recurring problem with RAMbrandt Picture Image Format is that RM4 is not associated with the correct program file.

Programs to open RM4 file
Remember to download programs supporting RM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with RM4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RM4 file to open in the RECOIL application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 RECOIL application as the default for handling the RM4 file.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RM4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The RM4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RM4 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RM4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RM4 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 RM4 files changes over time. 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.
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 RM4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RM4 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. It is best to move RM4 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RM4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RM4 file again. However, some background programs may block the RM4 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
