.rar and .vxd files?

[Civanator]

What are these kinds of files and is there a prgogram to open them? I downloaded a file and it is in .vxd form. or .rar

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

They are compressed files (well, at least a .rar is; not sure about .vxd). Certain compression programs allow you to open them (again, thats for .rar; not sure about .vxd)

.vxd are windows virtual drivers. And as far as I know you CAN'T open them...

CornMaster covered the .vxd file. RAR files are associated with the program WinRar, which is essentially the same as WinZip (only the compression is better in winrar). You can find the WinRar program at http://www.rarlabs.com/ , or http://download.com.com/3000-2250-10007677.html .

thanks guys. too bad i can't open vxd files. is there a way to view the contents? or are there contents?

Why on Earth do you want to look inside a driver file? It's exactly like trying to decode a dll file, or a exe file. And maybe it's even worse than reverse engineering. Anyway if you really want to insist, just try opening with Reshacker then... Who knows...

You can always open it in notepad, but it probably won't make much sense unless there are any strings that you might understand.
