How to open WMR file?
The main problem with Windows Media Recorder is that the WMR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WMR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WMR 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 WM Recorder
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WM Recorder is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WM Recorder into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WMR files.
Programs to open WMR file
Remember to download programs supporting WMR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WM Recorder with WMR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WMR file still does not use the WM Recorder program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WMR file with the WM Recorder program.
Step 3. Update WM Recorder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WM Recorder program with the Windows Media Recorder 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 All Alex Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WMR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WMR file. However, remember that not every infected WMR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WMR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WMR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact All Alex Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WMR 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WMR file to another location will fix the problem.
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. However, some background programs may block the WMR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
