How to open A10 file?

The main problem with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 12) is that the A10 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file A10 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A10 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the ARJ32 program installed. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open A10 files.

Programs to open A10 file

Remember to download programs supporting A10 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A10 files

If, despite the installed application, the A10 file does not start in the ARJ32 application, you must create a file association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A10 file with the ARJ32 program.

Step 3. Update ARJ32 to the latest version

If, however, after binding ARJ32 with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 12) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ARJ Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A10 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The A10 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A10 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A10 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected A10 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the A10 file. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A10 file corruption. 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 A10 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. It is best to move A10 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A10 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
