How to open P15 file?

An often recurring problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that P15 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open P15, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P15 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. To do this, enter the name QuickPar into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P15 with QuickPar. Below is a list of programs that support the file P15.

Programs to open P15 file

Remember to download programs supporting P15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P15 files

If, despite the installed application, the P15 file does not start in the QuickPar application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P15 file with the QuickPar program.

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 P15 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 P15 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P15 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected P15 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of P15 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P15 file corruption. 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P15 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the P15 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P15 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
