Step 1. Install DVD Shrink

The first step is to check if the computer has the DVD Shrink program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DVD Shrink 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 I02 files.

Step 2. Create association of DVD Shrink with I02 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the I02 file still does not use the DVD Shrink program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the I02 file with the DVD Shrink application.

Step 3. Update DVD Shrink to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DVD Shrink program, it is possible that DVD Shrink Part 3 Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the I02 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to I02 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the I02 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected I02 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 I02 file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair I02 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted I02 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 I02 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file I02 to close. However, some background programs may block the I02 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
