How to open A15 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 17) is that a specific A15 is not associated with the program. This causes the file A15 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 A15 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
In this case, you should first verify that the ARJ32 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ARJ32 in it. 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 A15 files.
Programs to open A15 file
Remember to download programs supporting A15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A15 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A15 file still does not use the ARJ32 program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 A15 file with the ARJ32 program.
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 17) 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 A15 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the A15 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A15 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected A15 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 A15 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair A15 file corruption. 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 A15 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move A15 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A15 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
