What is P25 file?

The P25 file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Peter B. Clements. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

The main program that supports this format is QuickPar. This was created by Peter B. Clements.

How to open P25 file?

The main problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that the P25 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file P25 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P25 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 it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file P25.

Programs to open P25 file

Remember to download programs supporting P25 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P25 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P25 file to open in the QuickPar application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 P25 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 P25 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The P25 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to P25 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P25 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P25 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of P25 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged P25 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Peter B. Clements
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P25 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the P25 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the P25 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P25 file again. 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.
