RHK Technology Proprietary is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open SM2 file?

The main problem with RHK Technology Proprietary is that the SM2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SM2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SM2 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 XPMPro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XPMPro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XPMPro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SM2 with XPMPro. Below is a list of programs that support the file SM2.

Programs to open SM2 file

Remember to download programs supporting SM2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XPMPro with SM2 files

If, despite the installed application, the SM2 file does not start in the XPMPro application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SM2 file with the XPMPro application.

Step 3. Update XPMPro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XPMPro program with the RHK Technology Proprietary 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 RHK Technology, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SM2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The SM2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SM2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SM2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SM2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SM2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SM2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RHK Technology, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SM2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SM2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SM2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
