Step 2. Create association of REDCINE-X with RSX files

If, despite the installed application, the RSX file does not start in the REDCINE-X application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RSX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RSX file. However, remember that not every infected RSX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RSX 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RSX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RSX 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 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 RSX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RSX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RSX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
