How to open RMX file?
An often recurring problem with RealJukebox Format is that RMX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RMX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RMX 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 RealPlayer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RealPlayer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RealPlayer into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RMX files.
Programs to open RMX file
Remember to download programs supporting RMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with RMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RMX file to open in the RealPlayer application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 RMX file with the RealPlayer application.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RealPlayer program, it is possible that RealJukebox Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RealNetworks, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 RMX 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RMX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RMX 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 RMX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RMX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RealNetworks, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RMX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RMX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RMX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RMX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
