What is P14 file?
The file in the P14 format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is Peter B. Clements. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. PAR Recovery Volume appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is QuickPar. This was created by Peter B. Clements.
How to open P14 file?
The main problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that the P14 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file P14 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P14 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that QuickPar 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 P14 with QuickPar. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P14 files.
Programs to open P14 file
Remember to download programs supporting P14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P14 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P14 file to open in the QuickPar application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickPar application as the default for handling the P14 file.
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 P14 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P14 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P14 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected P14 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P14 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P14 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Peter B. Clements help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P14 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the P14 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. However, some background programs may block the P14 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
