The RVDATA2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RVDATA2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RVDATA2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RVDATA2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RVDATA2 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RVDATA2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Enterbrain, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVDATA2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RVDATA2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
