What is P28 file?

PAR Recovery Volume appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The QuickPar application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Peter B. Clements.

How to open P28 file?

The most common problem when using PAR Recovery Volume is that a specific P28 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that P28 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P28 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuickPar in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support P28 files.

Programs to open P28 file

Remember to download programs supporting P28 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P28 files

If, despite the installed application, the P28 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the P28 file with the QuickPar application.

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The fault may also lie with the QuickPar program, it is possible that PAR Recovery Volume requires a newer version of the program. 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 P28 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. This suggests truncating the P28 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P28 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P28 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P28 file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P28 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 file P28 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the P28 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P28 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
