How to open A02 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 4) is that a specific A02 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open A02, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A02 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 ALZip
The first step is to check if the computer has the ALZip program installed. To do this, enter the name ALZip into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file A02 with ALZip. Below you will find a list of applications that support A02 files.
Programs to open A02 file
Remember to download programs supporting A02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ALZip with A02 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A02 file to open in the ALZip application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A02 file with the ALZip program.
Step 3. Update ALZip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ALZip program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 4) requires a newer version of the program.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 ESTsoft Corp. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A02 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A02 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 A02 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A02 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of A02 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A02 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ESTsoft, 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 A02 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the A02 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the A02 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A02 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
