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

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.

WinRAR has a repair option -- have you tried that? Also, their is supposed to be an option to ignore corrupt files during the extract operation. If you can set that, you might be lucky and have only one file corrupted in the archive and be able to extract the others.

There are plenty of offers of apps online that claim to repair RAR files, but I've not used any of them, so can't advise you on which ones to use.
