What else could cause problems?
There may be more reasons why you cannot open a RES file (not just the lack of a corresponding application).
Firstly- the RES file may be incorrectly linked (incompatible) with the installed application to support it. In this case, you need to change this connection yourself. To do this, right-click on the RES file that you want to edit, click the option "To open with" and then select the program you installed from the list. After this action, problems with opening the RES file should completely disappear.
Secondly- the file you want to open may simply be damaged. In this case, it would be best to find a new version of it, or download it again from the same source (perhaps for some reason in the previous session the download of the RES file did not finish and it could not be opened correctly).

This may seem too obvious, but often The RES file itself may be causing the problem. If you received a file via an email attachment or downloaded it from a website and the download process was interrupted (such as a power outage or other reason), the file may become damaged. If possible, try getting a new copy of the RES file and try opening it again.
Carefully: A damaged file can cause collateral damage to previous or existing malware on your PC, so it is important to keep your computer up-to-date with an up-to-date antivirus.
If your .res file related to the hardware on your computer to open the file you may need update device drivers associated with this equipment.
This problem usually associated with media file types, which depend on successfully opening the hardware inside the computer, e.g. sound card or video card. For example, if you are trying to open an audio file but cannot open it, you may need to update sound card drivers.
Advice: If when you try to open a RES file you receive .SYS file error message, the problem could probably be associated with corrupted or outdated device drivers that need to be updated. This process can be made easier by using driver update software such as DriverDoc.
If the steps do not solve the problem and you are still having problems opening RES files, this may be due to lack of available system resources. Some versions of RES files may require a significant amount of resources (e.g. memory/RAM, processing power) to properly open on your computer. This problem is quite common if you are using fairly old computer hardware and at the same time a much newer operating system.
This problem can occur when the computer is having difficulty keeping up with a task because the operating system (and other services running in the background) may consume too many resources to open RES file. Try closing all applications on your PC before opening Valve Resource File. Freeing up all available resources on your computer will provide the best conditions for attempting to open the RES file.
If you completed all the steps described above and your RES file still won't open, you may need to run equipment update. In most cases, even when using older versions of hardware, the processing power can still be more than sufficient for most user applications (unless you're doing a lot of CPU-intensive work, such as 3D rendering, financial/scientific modeling, or intensive multimedia work) . Thus, it is likely that your computer does not have enough memory(commonly called "RAM" or random access memory) to perform the task of opening a file.
The most common problem that prevents users from opening this file is an incorrectly assigned program. To fix this in Windows OS, you need to right-click on the file, in the context menu, hover the mouse over the “Open with” item, and select “Select a program...” from the drop-down menu. As a result, you will see a list of installed programs on your computer, and you can select the appropriate one. We also recommend checking the box next to “Use this application for all RES files.”
Another problem that our users also encounter quite often is that the RES file is corrupted. This situation can arise in many cases. For example: the file was not downloaded in full as a result of a server error, the file was damaged initially, etc. To resolve this problem, use one of the recommendations:
- Try finding the file you need in another source on the Internet. You may have luck finding a more suitable version. Example Google search: "File filetype:RES" . Just replace the word "file" with the name you want;
- Ask them to send you the original file again, it may have been damaged during transmission;
- The computer determines the file type by its extension.
- By default, Windows does not show file name extensions.
- Some characters cannot be used in the file name and extension.
- Not all formats are related to the same program.
- Below are all the programs that can be used to open the RES file.
