How to open RPGM file?
The most common problem when using Portable Greyscale Image is that a specific RPGM is not associated with the program. This causes the file RPGM 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 RPGM 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 XnView

Step 2. Create association of XnView with RPGM files
If, despite the installed application, the RPGM file does not start in the XnView 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RPGM file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Portable Greyscale Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPGM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The RPGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RPGM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RPGM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RPGM 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 RPGM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RPGM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RPGM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RPGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RPGM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RPGM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
