What is 007 file?

Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 7) appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

You can use PeaZip, WinRAR, ZipZag, StuffIt in case 7-Zip cannot be used.

How to open 007 file?

An often recurring problem with Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 7) is that 007 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open 007, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 007 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 7-Zip is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 7-Zip 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 007.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 007 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 007 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 7-Zip application as the default for handling the 007 file.

Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version

If, despite the association of the 7-Zip program with the Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 7) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Igor Pavlov website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 007 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the 007 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 007 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 007 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 007 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 007 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 007 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. It is best to move 007 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 007 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 007 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
