How to open 097 file?
An often recurring problem with Compressed Archive is that 097 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file 097 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 097 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 WinRAR
The first step is to check if the computer has the WinRAR program installed. To do this, enter the name WinRAR 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 you will find a list of applications that support 097 files.
Programs to open 097 file
Remember to download programs supporting 097 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with 097 files
If, despite the installed application, the 097 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 WinRAR application as the default for handling the 097 file.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Compressed Archive requires a newer version of the program. 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 097 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 097 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 097 file. However, remember that not every infected 097 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 097 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 097 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 097 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the 097 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 097 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
