Step 1. Install iArchiver

It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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.

Step 3. Update iArchiver to the latest version

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the R21 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R21 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected R21 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R21 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R21 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R21 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the R21 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the R21 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file R21 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R21 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
