What is RMC file?
The file with the extension RMC is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Washington State Department of Transportation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. RMCalc appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The RMCalc application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Washington State Department of Transportation.
How to open RMC file?
The most common problem when using RMCalc is that a specific RMC is not associated with the program. This causes the file RMC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RMC 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 RMCalc
In this case, you should first verify that the RMCalc application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RMCalc in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RMC files.
Programs to open RMC file
Remember to download programs supporting RMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RMCalc with RMC files
If, despite the installed application, the RMC file does not start in the RMCalc application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 RMCalc application as the default for handling the RMC file.
Step 3. Update RMCalc to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RMCalc program, it is possible that RMCalc requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Washington State Department of Transportation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The RMC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RMC file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RMC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RMC 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 RMC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 RMC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Washington State Department of Transportation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RMC 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RMC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
