How to open A09 file?

The main problem with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 11) is that the A09 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file A09 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 A09 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ARJ32 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file A09 with ARJ32.

Programs to open A09 file

Remember to download programs supporting A09 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A09 files

If, despite the installed application, the A09 file does not start in the ARJ32 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A09 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 11) 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 A09 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The A09 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to A09 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 A09 file. However, remember that not every infected A09 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the A09 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A09 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ARJ Software, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A09 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the A09 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the A09 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
