How to open R16 file?
The main problem with Norton Ghost Rar is that the R16 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open R16, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R16 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. This can be achieved by typing Norton Ghost into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file R16.
Programs to open R16 file
Remember to download programs supporting R16 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R16 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R16 file still does not use the Norton Ghost program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R16 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The fault may also lie with the Norton Ghost program, it is possible that Norton Ghost Rar requires a newer version of the program.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 R16 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 R16 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the R16 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R16 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected R16 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of R16 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R16 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R16 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 R16 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
