How to open R26 file?

The most common problem when using Norton Ghost Rar is that a specific R26 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that R26 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R26 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton Ghost in it.

Remember to download programs supporting R26 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R26 files

If, despite the installed application, the R26 file does not start in the Norton Ghost application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton Ghost application as the default for handling the R26 file.

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 R26 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The R26 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to R26 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R26 file. However, remember that not every infected R26 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of R26 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R26 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file R26 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the R26 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the R26 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
