How to open R36 file?
The main problem with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 38) is that the R36 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file R36 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 R36 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 R36 with WinRAR. Below is a list of programs that support the file R36.
Programs to open R36 file
Remember to download programs supporting R36 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R36 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R36 file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R36 file with the WinRAR program.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinRAR with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 38) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the win.rar GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R36 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R36 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R36 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R36 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R36 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R36 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Eugene Roshal, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R36 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the R36 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R36 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
