How do you use rar files?

A .rar file is not a media file. It is a compressed archive. The archive itself may well contain one or more media files within it, but you must decompress the file to open them. In order to decompress a .rar file, you need a utility like WinRAR to open it.

How do you open and run a 7-zip file?
Go to the directory of the .rar file. Then choose the .rar file and click "Extract". Then click "OK" to extract to the same directory as the .rar file, or press the button that says "..." to choose the directory. Then click OK. The file/files should extract in that directory, and you'll be able to open them with whatever program that fits their file extension. E.g. a .jpg file can be opened in paint, and an .mp3 can be opened in Realplayer. There are 2 easy ways to do this. 1- right click on the file you want to open, and select 'open with'. Then, when it asks you what program you want to use, select '7zip'. 2- open 7zip, go to 'tools-> options' (at the top of the 7zip window), find the 'System' tab (it should open on this automatically) and then 'associate 7 zip with'- select .rar. I personally use 7zip to open all archived file type, so I pick 'select all', but you may, or may not want to do this.
The archive is either in unknown or damaged?
If you're talking about WinRaR file format .rar then there are 3 main reasons why you get this error 1) The file you have is not .rar file.It could be some junk file which ends like .rar(but in reality it is not). E.G. I can take a movie .avi file and instead of .avi type .rar...of course that file won't work so..If you downloaded that file from somebody,it could be junk 2) If you used FireFox to download the file,do not "play" too much while file is downloading.try to avoid "pause" and "resume" options.Just leave it to download without interruptions. rar file is very sensitive because it is highly encrypted.If something VERY VERY little goes wrong during download,the WHOLE file becomes useless. 3)person who UPLOADED the .rar file made the mistake described on #2 .... For more advances users.Here is how to find out if the file is really .rar or it's junk. ... take the corrupt .rar file and add .txt extention in the end.Do not delete anything. E.g. if your rar name was this_istesting123.rar now it'll look like this_istesting123.rar.txt Double click to open the file.Notepad will show up because it's text file. NOTE: if your file is large,like 100MB PLEASE BE PATIENT because it may take up to 5 MINUTES to open that huge encrypted notepad. Once you have it open look at the first line.if you see something like this " Rar! ϐs " then your file is real .rar file and it is NOT junk.Probably your connection was interrupted during download and file just got corrupt.Re-downloading the file will fix the problem.Please don't forget about #2 problem. Hope this helps.Bye.
