The file in the P02 format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Peter B. Clements. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The QuickPar application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Peter B. Clements.
How to open P02 file?
An often recurring problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that P02 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open P02, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P02 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 QuickPar
In this case, you should first verify that the QuickPar application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuickPar in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P02 with QuickPar. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P02 files.
Programs to open P02 file
Remember to download programs supporting P02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P02 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P02 file to open in the QuickPar 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P02 file with the QuickPar program.
Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickPar with PAR Recovery Volume there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Peter B. Clements page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P02 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The P02 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to P02 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 P02 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected P02 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P02 file. 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 P02 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Peter B. Clements
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P02 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the P02 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the P02 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P02 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P02 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
