Programs to open PART1.RAR file

Remember to download programs supporting PART1.RAR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with PART1.RAR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PART1.RAR file to open in the WinRAR application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PART1.RAR file with the WinRAR application.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinRAR with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 1) 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 win.rar GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PART1.RAR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The PART1.RAR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PART1.RAR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PART1.RAR file. However, remember that not every infected PART1.RAR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PART1.RAR files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PART1.RAR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eugene Roshal
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PART1.RAR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 PART1.RAR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PART1.RAR file again. However, some background programs may block the PART1.RAR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
