How to open A32 file?

Step 1. Install ARJ32

Programs to open A32 file

Remember to download programs supporting A32 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ARJ32 with A32 files

If, despite the installed application, the A32 file does not start in the ARJ32 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A32 file with the ARJ32 application.

Step 3. Update ARJ32 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ARJ32 program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume ARJ Compressed Format Archive (part 34) requires a newer version of the program. 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 A32 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A32 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the A32 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected A32 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the A32 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A32 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ARJ Software, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A32 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 A32 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A32 to close. However, some background programs may block the A32 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
