How to open RM5 file?
The main problem with RevMan Review Document Format is that the RM5 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RM5 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 RM5 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 RevMan
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RevMan is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RevMan 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 RM5 with RevMan. Below is a list of programs that support the file RM5.
Programs to open RM5 file
Remember to download programs supporting RM5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RevMan with RM5 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RM5 file to open in the RevMan 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 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RM5 file with the RevMan application.
Step 3. Update RevMan to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RevMan program with the RevMan Review Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cochrane?s Informatics & Knowledge Management Department page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RM5 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RM5 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 RM5 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RM5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RM5 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RM5 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 file RM5 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RM5 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RM5 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RM5 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
