Programs to open 7Z.038 file
Remember to download programs supporting 7Z.038 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 7Z.038 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 7Z.038 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 7-Zip application as the default for handling the 7Z.038 file.

The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume 7-ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 38) requires a newer version of the program.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 7Z.038 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 7Z.038 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 7Z.038 file. However, remember that not every infected 7Z.038 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 7Z.038 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 7Z.038 file corruption. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 7Z.038 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. Copying the 7Z.038 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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.
