Thread: Winrar Tip [CRC Error Correction]

Heres a little Winrar Tip if u ever did experience a problem called CRC Failure when u tried to extract an archive...

What you got to do is go to Winrar via the Start Menu or if u have a shortcut on ur desktop then double click and open it.

In Winrar you click File > Open Archive and then select the archive you want to Unrar. Then Select the "Extract To" Icon in the toolbar on top. A new window shud open up asking where u wud like to extract the file from the archive to...

Now in that same window, under "Miscellaneous" [left hand bottom] check the box that says "Keep Broken Files".

Now click ok and let it extract... once it has extracted... the CRC error will show up as usual. Just click Close on CRC error window.

And ur file shud be in perfect shape.

If its a media file then use VLC Media Player to play it whether its audio or video. VLC may ask you to repair the broken file, but dont select the option to repair it or else, then there wud be errors.

So Do As I Say... and ENJOY!!

Thanks mate!!
