Step 1. Install ARJ32

Programs to open A17 file
Remember to download programs supporting A17 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A17 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A17 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 A17 file with the ARJ32 application.
Step 3. Update ARJ32 to the latest version
If, however, after binding ARJ32 with Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 19) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 A17 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A17 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 A17 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected A17 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 A17 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A17 files. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A17 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the A17 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A17 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the A17 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
