How to open A14 file?
An often recurring problem with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 16) is that A14 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that A14 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A14 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. To do this, enter the name ARJ32 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file A14 with ARJ32. Below you will find a list of applications that support A14 files.
Programs to open A14 file
Remember to download programs supporting A14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A14 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A14 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ARJ32 application as the default for handling the A14 file.
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 16) 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 A14 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to A14 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A14 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A14 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the A14 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A14 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ARJ Software, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A14 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the A14 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the A14 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A14 file again. However, some background programs may block the A14 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
