Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A13 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A13 file to open in the ARJ32 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to A13 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our A13 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A13 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of A13 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A13 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ARJ Software, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A13 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 A13 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A13 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
