The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PP7M file that we want to open.

Older version of PP7M file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PP7M to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PP7M file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PP7M file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
