How to open P18 file?
The main problem with QuickPar Recovery Volume Format is that the P18 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file P18 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 P18 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickPar program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuickPar in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P18 with QuickPar. Below is a list of programs that support the file P18.
Programs to open P18 file
Remember to download programs supporting P18 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P18 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P18 file still does not use the QuickPar program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickPar application as the default for handling the P18 file.
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. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Peter B. Clements page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P18 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The P18 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the P18 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P18 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected P18 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 P18 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P18 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P18 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the P18 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the P18 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
