Programs to open R97 file
Remember to download programs supporting R97 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R97 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R97 file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R97 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The R97 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R97 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R97 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected R97 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of R97 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R97 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 R97 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the R97 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the R97 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the R97 file again. However, some background programs may block the R97 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
