How to open R14 file?
The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R14 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open R14, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R14 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Norton Ghost application 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open R14 files.
Programs to open R14 file
Remember to download programs supporting R14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R14 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R14 file to open in the Norton Ghost application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the R14 file with the Norton Ghost application.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton Ghost program with the Norton Ghost Rar file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Symantec Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R14 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to R14 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R14 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R14 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of R14 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R14 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R14 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the R14 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the R14 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file R14 to close. However, some background programs may block the R14 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
