RaR

The RAR file format is catching up with ZIP to become one of the most widespread archiving formats on the Internet. If you’ve ever seen a .RAR file for download you may have wondered what it was. Well, it is a compression format similar to ZIP used to group together and reduce the size of files, making them quicker to download. Unlike ZIP, Windows 7 does not have built-in support for RAR files, so you need to add a third party tool to open the archive. And the problem with files downloaded from the Internet is that quite often they become corrupted, meaning that even if you do have the correct software installed you cannot open them.

To resolve the problem, install, Recovery Toolbox for RAR. This tool will unpack RAR archives, even if they are corrupted and a normal RAR tool can’t open them. Simply run the tool and click the **Open File** button then navigate to your corrupted RAR files.

Click **Next**, and the tool will process your RAR archive and display any files which are corrupt. Work through the remaining steps of the wizard and you can identify and deal with the problem files. With Recovery Toolbox for RAR, problem RAR archives will be a thing of the past.
