How to open P24 file?

The main problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that the P24 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open P24, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P24 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

In this case, you should first verify that the QuickPar application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name QuickPar into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file P24.

Programs to open P24 file

Remember to download programs supporting P24 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P24 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P24 file to open in the QuickPar application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickPar application as the default for handling the P24 file.

Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the QuickPar program, it is possible that PAR Recovery Volume requires a newer version of the program. 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 P24 file

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the P24 file. 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 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 P24 file. Sometimes virus-infected P24 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 P24 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P24 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 file P24 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 P24 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the P24 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P24 to close. However, some background programs may block the P24 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
