How to open A04 file?
The main problem with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 6) is that the A04 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open A04, 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 A04 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 ARJ32
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ARJ32 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ARJ32 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file A04 with ARJ32. Below you will find a list of applications that support A04 files.
Programs to open A04 file
Remember to download programs supporting A04 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A04 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A04 file to open in the ARJ32 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A04 file with the ARJ32 program.
Step 3. Update ARJ32 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ARJ32 program with the Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 6) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the ARJ Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A04 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A04 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 A04 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected A04 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of A04 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A04 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ARJ Software, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file A04 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A04 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A04 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A04 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
