How to open ROO file?
The most common problem when using WinRAR Archive is that a specific ROO is not associated with the program. This causes the file ROO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ROO 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
In this case, you should first verify that the WinRAR application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ROO files.
Programs to open ROO file
Remember to download programs supporting ROO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with ROO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ROO 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ROO file with the WinRAR program.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that WinRAR Archive requires a newer version of the program. 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 ROO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ROO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ROO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ROO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ROO 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ROO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ROO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ROO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
