What is P08 file?

The file with the extension P08 is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is Peter B. Clements. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. PAR Recovery Volume appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use QuickPar to handle this file. This is a program created by Peter B. Clements.

How to open P08 file?

The main problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that the P08 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that P08 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P08 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickPar program installed. This can be achieved by typing QuickPar into the operating system search engine. 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 P08 files.

Programs to open P08 file

Remember to download programs supporting P08 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P08 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P08 file still does not use the QuickPar 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 P08 file with the QuickPar application.

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. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Peter B. Clements website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P08 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the P08 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P08 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P08 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the P08 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P08 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Peter B. Clements, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P08 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move P08 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P08 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
