The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R88 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.

Programs to open R88 file
Remember to download programs supporting R88 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R88 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R88 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinRAR application as the default for handling the R88 file.
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. 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 R88 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R88 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R88 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R88 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of R88 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R88 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eugene Roshal help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R88 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 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 R88 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R88 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the R88 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
