How to open A05 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 7) is that a specific A05 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that A05 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A05 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 it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file A05.
Programs to open A05 file
Remember to download programs supporting A05 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A05 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A05 file still does not use the ARJ32 program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A05 file with the ARJ32 application.
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 7) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ARJ Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A05 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 A05 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A05 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A05 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the A05 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A05 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ARJ Software, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A05 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A05 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A05 to close. However, some background programs may block the A05 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
