The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R74 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.

Programs to open R74 file
Remember to download programs supporting R74 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R74 files
If, despite the installed application, the R74 file does not start in the WinRAR application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 R74 file with the WinRAR program.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinRAR with RAR Compressed Formats From A Multi-volume Archive 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 win.rar GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R74 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the R74 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R74 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R74 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of R74 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R74 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R74 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the R74 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R74 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file R74 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R74 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
