Remember to download programs supporting R71 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R71 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R71 file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the R71 file with the WinRAR application.

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 R71 file

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the R71 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 R71 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected R71 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of R71 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R71 file corruption. 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 R71 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the R71 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the R71 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
