How to open R19 file?

The main problem with Norton Ghost Rar is that the R19 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open R19, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R19 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 Norton Ghost

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Ghost is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton Ghost into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file R19.

Programs to open R19 file

Remember to download programs supporting R19 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R19 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R19 file to open in the Norton Ghost 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the R19 file with the Norton Ghost application.

Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version

If, however, after binding Norton Ghost with Norton Ghost Rar there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R19 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 R19 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to R19 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R19 file. Sometimes virus-infected R19 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R19 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R19 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file R19 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move R19 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R19 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
