Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with 050 files
If, despite the installed application, the 050 file does not start in the WinRAR application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 050 file with the WinRAR application.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinRAR with Split Or Compressed Archive 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 050 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The 050 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 050 file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 050 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 050 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 050 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 050 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 050 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 050 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 050 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 050 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
