How to open SPLIT file?
The most common problem when using Split is that a specific SPLIT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SPLIT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPLIT 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 7-Zip
In this case, you should first verify that the 7-Zip application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 7-Zip into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SPLIT files.
Programs to open SPLIT file
Remember to download programs supporting SPLIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with SPLIT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPLIT file to open in the 7-Zip application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 7-Zip application as the default for handling the SPLIT file.
Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version
If, however, after binding 7-Zip with Split there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Igor Pavlov website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPLIT 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPLIT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPLIT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SPLIT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SPLIT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPLIT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPLIT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SPLIT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
