Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with PART2.RAR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PART2.RAR file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PART2.RAR file with the WinRAR program.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 2) requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PART2.RAR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PART2.RAR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PART2.RAR 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PART2.RAR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PART2.RAR 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 PART2.RAR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PART2.RAR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Eugene Roshal, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PART2.RAR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PART2.RAR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PART2.RAR file again. However, some background programs may block the PART2.RAR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
