Can’t extract files with RAR, what’s the problem?

[ShannonPereira]

Trying to extract file in win RAR it gives following error: "Decompression problem: broken compressed data.” Extraction stops on 20%. There is a lot of important photos for me. How to get them back? Please help me.

You could try a different decompression program like 7Zip but it sounds like your RAR file is corrupted/damaged.
There are RAR repair programs (http://www.rarrepairtool.com/) but I've never used any of them.
Here's a forum that might help.
