How to open R32 file?

The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 34) is that a specific R32 is not associated with the program. This causes the file R32 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R32 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 WinRAR

The first step is to check if the computer has the WinRAR program installed. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file R32 with WinRAR. Below you will find a list of applications that support R32 files.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R32 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R32 file to open in the WinRAR application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R32 file with the WinRAR program.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 34) requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the win.rar GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R32 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The R32 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R32 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R32 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected R32 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of R32 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R32 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eugene Roshal
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R32 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. It is best to move R32 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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 R32 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R32 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
