How to open RNX file?
The main problem with RealPlayer Settings Format is that the RNX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RNX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RNX 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RealPlayer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RNX files.
Programs to open RNX file
Remember to download programs supporting RNX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with RNX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RNX file to open in the RealPlayer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 RNX file with the RealPlayer application.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
If, however, after binding RealPlayer with RealPlayer Settings Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 RNX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RNX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RNX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RNX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RNX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RNX 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RNX files. 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 RNX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RNX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
