PAR Recovery Volume appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use QuickPar to handle this file. This is a program created by Peter B. Clements.

How to open P09 file?

An often recurring problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that P09 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file P09 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P09 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. To do this, enter the name QuickPar into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support P09 files.

Programs to open P09 file

Remember to download programs supporting P09 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P09 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P09 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 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 select the desired program. 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 P09 file with the QuickPar application.

Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version

If, despite the association of the QuickPar program with the PAR Recovery Volume file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Peter B. Clements website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P09 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P09 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P09 file. Sometimes virus-infected P09 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P09 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P09 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Peter B. Clements
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted P09 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the P09 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P09 to close. However, some background programs may block the P09 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
