Sources of LRM Problems
Frequent LRM Opening Issues
Microsoft Encarta Removed
When trying to open your LRM file, you get the error "Can't Open LRM File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Encarta installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your LRM with Microsoft Encarta, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your LRM, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Microsoft Encarta is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Encarta won't support your Encarta Class Server Learning Resource File file. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Encarta from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Most of the time your Encarta Class Server Learning Resource File file was created by a newer Microsoft Encarta than what you have installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of LRM file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Primarily, problems experienced when opening LRM files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Encarta installed on your computer.
Other LRM File Issues
Assuming you have the right Microsoft Encarta version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening LRM files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening LRM files. Other contributing causes:
- Invalid LRM file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Corruption of the LRM file description inside the Registry
- Invalid installation of a LRM-associated program (eg. Microsoft Encarta)
- Your LRM can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Malware-tainted LRM file can't be opened
- Device drivers for LRM-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Encarta Class Server Learning Resource File format
