How to open R23 file?
The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R23 is not associated with the program. This causes the file R23 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R23 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support R23 files.
Programs to open R23 file
Remember to download programs supporting R23 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R23 files
If, despite the installed application, the R23 file does not start in the Norton Ghost application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton Ghost application as the default for handling the R23 file.
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The fault may also lie with the Norton Ghost program, it is possible that Norton Ghost Rar requires a newer version of the program. 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 R23 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R23 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R23 file. Sometimes virus-infected R23 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R23 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R23 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file R23 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the R23 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file R23 to close. However, some background programs may block the R23 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
