How to open R15 file?
The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R15 is not associated with the program. This causes the file R15 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R15 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. To do this, enter the name Norton Ghost into the system search engine. 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 R15 files.
Programs to open R15 file
Remember to download programs supporting R15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R15 files
If, despite the installed application, the R15 file does not start in the Norton Ghost application, you must create a file association. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R15 file with the Norton Ghost program.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Ghost with Norton Ghost Rar there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 R15 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to R15 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R15 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R15 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 R15 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R15 file corruption. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R15 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 R15 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 R15 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
