Remember to download programs supporting PAQ8JD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PeaZip with PAQ8JD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PAQ8JD file still does not use the PeaZip program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PAQ8JD file with the PeaZip application.

Step 3. Update PeaZip to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PeaZip program, it is possible that PAQ Data Archive requires a newer version of the program.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 Giorgio Tani page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PAQ8JD file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The PAQ8JD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PAQ8JD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PAQ8JD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PAQ8JD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PAQ8JD file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PAQ8JD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PAQ8JD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PAQ8JD 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PAQ8JD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAQ8JD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
