How to open R12 file?
The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R12 is not associated with the program.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R12 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 Norton Ghost
The first step is to check if the computer has the Norton Ghost program installed. This can be achieved by typing Norton Ghost into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file R12.
Programs to open R12 file
Remember to download programs supporting R12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R12 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R12 file still does not use the Norton Ghost program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton Ghost application as the default for handling the R12 file.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Norton Ghost program, it is possible that Norton Ghost Rar requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R12 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 R12 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the R12 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R12 file. Sometimes virus-infected R12 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of R12 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R12 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file R12 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move R12 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the R12 file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 R12 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
