Programs to open URD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Ultra Recall with URD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the URD file to open in the Ultra Recall application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 URD file with the Ultra Recall application.

Step 3. Update Ultra Recall to the latest version

If, however, after binding Ultra Recall with Ultra Recall Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Kinook Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The URD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the URD 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the URD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected URD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of URD 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair URD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kinook Software, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file URD 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. If possible, you can try to move the URD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the URD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
