What is RSQ file?

The file with the extension RSQ is the System Files file type. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the System Files category includes 323 related files. IBM 4690 Operating System​ is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is IBM 4690 Operating System. This was created by IBM.

How to open RSQ file?

The main problem with IBM 4690 Operating System​ is that the RSQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RSQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSQ 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 IBM 4690 Operating System

In this case, you should first verify that the IBM 4690 Operating System application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IBM 4690 Operating System into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file RSQ.

Programs to open RSQ file

Remember to download programs supporting RSQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of IBM 4690 Operating System with RSQ files

If, despite the installed application, the RSQ file does not start in the IBM 4690 Operating System 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RSQ file with the IBM 4690 Operating System application.

Step 3. Update IBM 4690 Operating System to the latest version

If, however, after binding IBM 4690 Operating System with IBM 4690 Operating System​ 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 IBM website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSQ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RSQ 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RSQ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RSQ 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 RSQ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RSQ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RSQ 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. It is best to move RSQ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RSQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RSQ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RSQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
