How to open ARA file?
An often recurring problem with Archivaldo Resource Archive is that ARA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ARA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARA 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 Archivaldo

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ARA files.
Programs to open ARA file
Remember to download programs supporting ARA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Archivaldo with ARA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARA file to open in the Archivaldo 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ARA file with the Archivaldo application.
Step 3. Update Archivaldo to the latest version
If, however, after binding Archivaldo with Archivaldo Resource Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARA 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. This suggests truncating the ARA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ARA file. Sometimes virus-infected ARA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ARA 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ARA file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ARA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 ARA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ARA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
