Common RAS Opening Problems

Missing Audacity

When trying to open your RAS file, you get the error "Can't Open RAS File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Audacity for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: When another RAS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Obsolete Version of Audacity

Your Remedy Archive System File file is incompatible with Audacity because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version Audacity (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Remedy Archive System File file was probably created by a newer release of Audacity than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: If you right-click on your RAS file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening RAS files are due to having the incorrect version of Audacity installed on your computer.


Other Causes of RAS File Opening Problems

You can still experience errors opening RAS files even with the latest version of Audacity installed on your PC. Other RAS opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry RAS file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the RAS file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Invalid installation of a RAS-associated program (eg. Audacity)
  • File corruption affecting your RAS file
  • RAS file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with RAS has outdated drivers
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Remedy Archive System File files
