I have a file with a CRC error! I can't open this file.
Is there any program out there that will allow me to fix a file with a CRC
error.
Thanks!

No. Just get another copy of the file.

Missing CRC can mean anything from a single bit error (but you
never know which bit :-) till a totally corrupted file.

At this point its hard to know what's going on!

Just a wild guess - is this a compressed file with RAR extension? Older
unzip/archive programs will give a CRC error when you try to open RAR
files that were created recently with the newer RAR compression. The
solution is to update your unzip/archive utility, or try another (7-zip
comes to mind).

Yeah, that explains my experience. PowerArch 6.11 gave me that error
on pretty much all .rar files that crossed its path. I think ACF'ers
have posted about some handful of updated libraries for PowerArch, but
I haven't got around to looking into it, and don't know if it involves
anything that will make it better handle rar. In the meantime, I just
took up the habit of launching a newer arch-util for those occasions
where it's a rar that needs extraction.

Hi, which one do you use now?

I tend to pick one at random. I haven't specially config'd my .rar
extension for any specially-chosen handler.

QuickZip, IZarc, and 7zip, have all handled that task for me.

(Passing mention. I don't adore any of those. I just have them perform
the task and then leave the scene...)

Ah, OK, tried them all, pros and cons equal out to something called taste,
using ZipCentral myself now, but I could lie as happy with one of the
others I guess. Just thought (hoped, wished) you found us a new small handy
one. I just wish the Freezip could handle rar.

Yeah if I was conscious of a rar handler that was small and green (or even
CLI type), then I'd configure my .rar extension just for it.

For general zip type stuff, I still haven't experienced any yet who tempt
me to file for divorce from Powerarch (5+ yr marriage there, longer than
many of the human kind!).
