I added to archive using WinRAR all my personal work files they are in 2GB WinRAR file in size a month ago and now when I try to open the file I get this message (archive is either in unknown format or damaged)?

Is there any way I can access all my work files again because they are very important files and I cant wait for solution please if any one can help with some advice. Thank you

I used Recover my files from: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/

But its not free.

I got my files recovered to the point before I send them to WinRAR archive then.
