Understanding RLD Issues


Typical RLD Opening Challenges

Norton Commander Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open RLD Files" when trying to open your RLD. Usually, this is because you do not have Norton Commander for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your RLD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Obsolete Version of Norton Commander

Sometimes your installed version of Norton Commander won't support your Norton Commander Temporary file. If you've got the wrong version of Norton Commander installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Norton Commander Temporary file version that was created by a newer version of Norton Commander than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your RLD file and clicking "Properties".


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


Additional RLD Opening Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Norton Commander will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening RLD files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • Invalid RLD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Corruption of the RLD file description inside the Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the RLD format
  • The RLD itself is corrupted
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your RLD
  • Hardware related to RLDs has device driver corruption
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Norton Commander Temporary file successfully
