How to open P13 file?

The most common problem when using QuickPar Recovery Volume Format is that a specific P13 is not associated with the program. This causes the file P13 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P13 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 QuickPar

In this case, you should first verify that the QuickPar application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing QuickPar 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support P13 files.

Programs to open P13 file

Remember to download programs supporting P13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P13 files

If, despite the installed application, the P13 file does not start in the QuickPar application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P13 file with the QuickPar program.

Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version

If, however, after binding QuickPar with QuickPar Recovery Volume Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Peter B. Clements website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P13 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the P13 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P13 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected P13 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P13 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P13 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted P13 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the P13 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the P13 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P13 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P13 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
