Programs to open R77 file

Remember to download programs supporting R77 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R77 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R77 file to open in the WinRAR application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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.

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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R77 file

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the R77 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R77 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected R77 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R77 files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R77 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 file R77 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the R77 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the R77 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
