How to open RRR file?
The most common problem when using Registry Mechanic Backup Format is that a specific RRR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RRR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RRR 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 Registry Mechanic
The first step is to check if the computer has the Registry Mechanic program installed. This can be achieved by typing Registry Mechanic into the operating system search engine. 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 RRR files.
Programs to open RRR file
Remember to download programs supporting RRR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Registry Mechanic with RRR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RRR file to open in the Registry Mechanic 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Registry Mechanic application as the default for handling the RRR file.
Step 3. Update Registry Mechanic to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Registry Mechanic program with the Registry Mechanic Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the PC Tools website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RRR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The RRR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RRR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RRR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RRR 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 RRR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RRR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PC Tools, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RRR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RRR 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RRR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RRR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
