What is P26 file?
The file with the extension P26 is the Archive Files file type. The creator of this file is Peter B. Clements. In addition to this file, the Archive Files category includes 619 related files. PAR Recovery Volume is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is QuickPar. This was created by Peter B. Clements.
How to open P26 file?
The most common problem when using PAR Recovery Volume is that a specific P26 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open P26, 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 P26 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P26 files.
Programs to open P26 file
Remember to download programs supporting P26 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P26 files
If, despite the installed application, the P26 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P26 file with the QuickPar program.
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The fault may also lie with the QuickPar program, it is possible that PAR Recovery Volume requires a newer version of the program. 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 P26 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The P26 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the P26 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P26 file. Sometimes virus-infected P26 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 P26 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P26 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 P26 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move P26 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 P26 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
