How to open R13 file?
The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R13 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that R13 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 R13 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Ghost is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton Ghost 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 R13 files.
Programs to open R13 file
Remember to download programs supporting R13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R13 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R13 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R13 file with the Norton Ghost program.
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The fault may also lie with the Norton Ghost program, it is possible that Norton Ghost Rar requires a newer version of the program.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 R13 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to R13 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R13 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected R13 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of R13 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R13 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R13 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. Copying the R13 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R13 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 R13 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
