How to open 005 file?

An often recurring problem with Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 5) is that 005 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file 005 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 005 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 7-Zip

The first step is to check if the computer has the 7-Zip program installed. To do this, enter the name 7-Zip into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file 005.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 005 files

If, despite the installed application, the 005 file does not start in the 7-Zip application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 005 file with the 7-Zip program.

Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 5) requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Igor Pavlov website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 005 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 005 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 005 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 005 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 005 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 005 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Igor Pavlov, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 005 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 005 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 005 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 005 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
