| Q: I get an error message about unknown method when I try to extract a RAR archive. What does that mean? | |
| A: This means you are using a version of WinRAR that is older than the version that was used
to make the archive originally. Download and install the latest
version of WinRAR and try the extract again. Back to top |
|
| Q: I downloaded a bunch of RAR files and when I try to extract them, I get a message that a file is missing. What can I do? | |
| A: This means that you don't have all the parts of the archive, and
you need to go back to the source you got them from and retrieve the missing pieces. Since RAR can take very large files and
break them up into smaller parts, you need all the parts to put the big file back together again. Back to top |
|
| Q: I downloaded a bunch of RAR files, and when I extracted the contents, I have a bin or cue file. What do I do with them? | |
| A: Those files can be read by a program called ISO buster that
is available on the internet. You will need that program in order to turn those files into something
useful. Back to top |
|
| Q: I have a file that is over 2GB when expanded, and it fails trying to expand it with WinRAR on my Win98/95 machine. What should I do? | |
| A: There are limitations in the file systems and operating
systems that WinRAR cannot overcome. These limitations do not exist when you run on a system with Windows
NT/Windows 2000/Windows XP using the NTFS file system. Back to top |
|
| Q: I have a RAR file that is password protected, and I don't know / can't remember what the password is. How do I get to the files? | |
| A: There's good news, and bad news. The good news is that RAR is
secure enough that not even the author has a backdoor into the archive to retrieve your files. The bad
news is, you may be out of luck. You can search the internet for a RAR password cracker and find something
that will do a brute force attack against the archive to see if it can re-open the file. Short of that working,
however, you're out of luck. Back to top |
|
| Q: How do I register RAR or WinRAR? | |
| A: We have a dedicated page to answer most of the registration questions we get asked routinely, please read through
that, and contact us if that doesn't answer your questions. Back to top |
|
| Q: How much do upgrades to WinRAR cost? | |
| A: Nothing!
Upgrades are free for licensed users. You can download and install the new version on top of your
old version and you're ready to go. Back to top |
|
| Q: What does RAR stand for? | |
| A: The term RAR comes partly from the name of the author, Eugene Roshal and the other part comes
from the fact that this program does archiving of files, or Roshals'
ARchiver. Back to top |
