How to open RRDS file?

An often recurring problem with XWE Data Format is that RRDS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RRDS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RRDS 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 XWE

In this case, you should first verify that the XWE application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XWE in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RRDS files.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with RRDS files

If, despite the installed application, the RRDS file does not start in the XWE application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RRDS file with the XWE program.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XWE program with the XWE Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RRDS 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 RRDS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RRDS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RRDS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RRDS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RRDS file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RRDS 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. Copying the RRDS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RRDS file again. However, some background programs may block the RRDS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
