What is P23 file?
The file with the extension P23 is the Archive Files file type. The author of this format is Peter B. Clements. Archive Files consists of 619 similar files. PAR Recovery Volume is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The QuickPar application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Peter B. Clements.
How to open P23 file?
The most common problem when using PAR Recovery Volume is that a specific P23 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open P23, 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 P23 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P23 with QuickPar. Below you will find a list of applications that support P23 files.
Programs to open P23 file
Remember to download programs supporting P23 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P23 files
If, despite the installed application, the P23 file does not start in the QuickPar application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickPar application as the default for handling the P23 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. 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 P23 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P23 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P23 file. Sometimes virus-infected P23 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the P23 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P23 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted P23 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the P23 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P23 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P23 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
